Explanation:

In the excerpt, Lady Macbeth is using language that is highly emotional. Words like "Great Glamis! worthy Cawdor! Greater than both, by the all - hail hereafter!" and "Thy letters have transported me beyond This ignorant present, and I feel now The future in the instant" show her intense emotional state. Pathos is the rhetorical appeal that aims to evoke emotions. Logos is about logical reasoning (not present here as there is no logical argument). Ethos is about credibility or moral character (not emphasized in this emotional greeting).

Answer:

She establishes pathos by appealing to emotion.
