Lady Macbeth - William ShakespeareLady Macbeth is in a position of power over Macbeth. She tells him what to do and what not to do. She directs him and his emotions in Act 2 Scene II. She is the strongest one which is clearly shown by her saying ‘A foolish thought‚ to say a sorry sight’. This shows us how weak Macbeth is compared to Lady Macbeth who has the power and makes her husband think the same way as she thinks. I would show that power clearly by standing on the higher level of the stage than

Premium Macbeth Feminism
I deem Macbeth to be guiltier than Lady Macbeth. Factually‚ Macbeth is shown to be more sensitive than Lady Macbeth‚ because Lady Macbeth seems to be very inclined when proposing Macbeth to assassinate King Duncan; while Macbeth seems to be unsure and tensed about the idea. In addition‚ Macbeth’s reaction to assassinating King Duncan despite of his loyalty to him and his appreciation towards him for receiving so much honour from shows that he is sensitive to killing or causing any harm to people
