    (Shakespeare 853). “If I be waspish‚ best beware my sting‚” sneered the other (Shakespeare 333). Although they emerged nearly five centuries ago‚ the women who said these lines are undeniably two of Shakespeare’s most famous female characters. Lady Macbeth and Katherine are still known today as conspicuous figures in Shakespearean plays. The first stands out as a strong‚ manipulative‚ cunning woman; so ambitious to achieve her goal that she even becomes fear-provoking (Corwin).

    no harm. My hands are of his colour to wash my hands or not‚ thee gout of blood stays. Macbeth faulted in our quest‚ incapable of completing was’t needed to be done. I‚ more than a man than him‚ what man was he then? Weak-minded to want to alter the course foreseen before thy. No daughter‚ mother or woman could be as like a man as I. He who is a man‚ is’t too full o’ the milk of human kindness.

    Lady Macbeth held her newly received letter in her hands. Reading it carefully as if the words themselves would run off the pages. “The witches met me on the day of my victory in battle‚ and I have learned that they have supernatural knowledge. When I tried desperately to question them further‚ they vanished into thin air. While I stood spellbound‚ messengers from the king arrived and greeted me as the Thane of Cawdor‚ which is precisely how the weird sisters had saluted me before calling me ’the

    O’‚ why has my Lady cried out? Why must she grow frail and bent‚ feverishly consumed with such terrifying thoughts night and day? Her delusion must be of another tragedy from the past; that damned spot she had said‚ with blood too! Of course‚ I have my suspicions that such an event would ensue in the passing away of Duncan. I must also not forget Banquo’s demise. My Lord‚ her Ladyship couldn’t possibly speak about the deed of murder. Oh! The malady of her mind has confessed to these horrid killings

    interpretation I get from this particular scene. Is that of a paradox because it shows just how slimily Lady Macbeth truly is. She is showing extreme affection to Macbeth‚ meanwhile she is forcing Macbeth to kill Duncan at the same time. She is also filling his mind with thoughts of her always being by his side. When really she only wants to be queen. Whether it be by the darkness in the room‚ or by Lady Macbeth’s bossy tone‚ you can tell she has other motives in store for the future. Step 2: Setting

    The difference between Macbeth and lady Macbeth. Macbeth doesn’t really act like he cares for power at the beginning but after a while he seems like he becomes more acquainted with it. On the other hand his wife seems like from the start she is power hungry and is very happy about the prophecy and can’t wait for it to come true. As they are different it makes for an interesting thought as I’m reading I thought that this might lead to a problem later. This is because she might try to control him
