Why does she asks for the spirits to fill her with "direst cruelty" and "make thick my blood" ? What does this speech reveal about her character ?

Lady Macbeth right?

This quote in the speech is talking about nurturing and loving for a child. In stereotypical Jacobean times women were expected to be caring and loving towards their family. However, Lady Macbeth subverts these stereotypes by talking about how she doesn't want to be nurturing and is a manipulative and strong willed character
