Macbeth, Lady a remorseless or melodramatic woman, especially one leading or assisting a weak man, with allusion to the scene in Shakespeare's
Macbeth in which Macbeth balks at returning to the room in which he has murdered Duncan to replace the daggers with which he killed the king, and so ensure that Duncan's attendants are believed to be his murderers. His wife undertakes the task, with the words ‘Infirm of purpose! Give me the daggers’.
