I don't understand why people hate the word "moist" so much. Sure, it's not the most pleasant sounding word, but there are several other words in the world that invoke a much larger feeling of discomfort. I feel like a lot of words make me annoyed, along with many other things. Moist is actually a good word for describing something. I would rather say moist than have to say "damp" which grosses me out even more than moist. As for quench, my least favorite word, I have no idea why you would say it when a word like "parched" exists and sounds nice.

One of the things that interests me most about the play so far is the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Though they are married, neither of them seem to listen/want to listen to each other and act based on the other's opinion. Lady Macbeth doesn't care about Macbeth's feelings much and only uses him for his power and encourages him to kill the king even though he feels ashamed and guilty doing it. She continues to say how violent she wants to be and wouldn't be a coward like her husband, but she still did not kill anyone herself due to her own feelings. I believe that she's all talk when she says she wants to kill for power, but is too worried for the consequences.
