Quote 2: 
Lady Macbeth
unsex me here,
and fill me from the crown to the toe top-full,
of dirtest cruelty.  Make thick my blood.
Stop up th' access and passage to remorse,
(Act 1, scene 5, line 48-51)


Context: Lady Macbeth is saying that she wants to be turned into a man and be filled up with cruelt so she can do as she pleases.

Quote 4: Macbeth: I'll fight till my bones my flesh be hacked. ( Act 5, scene 3, lines 38-39)


Context: Macbeth is saying that he will fight till his body cannot no more, or until too many bones are broken and his flesh is ripped so much that he bleeds to death.


Interpretation: This shows his manliness because he will not run from a fight and if he does get into a fight that he will keep fighting till he is dead.


Quote 5: Macbeth: Prithee, peace. I dare do all that may become a man. Who dares do more is none.  ( Act 1, scene 7, lines 50-53)
