Explanation:

When Lady Macbeth greets Macbeth in Macbeth, she uses passionate, emotionally charged language to urge him toward the murder of Duncan, focusing on stirring his ambition, guilt, and pride rather than logic or credibility/morality. This aligns with pathos, which appeals to the audience's (in this case, Macbeth's) emotions.

She establishes pathos by appealing to emotion.
