Lady Macbeth
Lady Macbeth was the bewitched and bewitching wife of the Scottish King Macbeth. She truly was the power behind the throne, and she got some of the best lines:
To beguile the time,
Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye,
Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under’t.
—Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act I, Scene 5
These lacy, long Lady Macbeth arm warmers are both the innocent flower and the serpent under it: they are soft and warm, and the cobweb lace pattern gives them a good dose of dark magic.
