    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

    merely a pawn‚ a pawn in a game that has spiralled out of control‚ a game of life and death‚ empowered by very own selfish aspiration. What possessed me?

    "Macbeth" is a Shakespearean tragedy focused solely on the tragic hero Macbeth. All major events that take place in the play involve the presence of Macbeth‚ including the witches’ prophecies‚ the death of King Duncan‚ and the return of the rightful King Malcolm.

    Step 1: Character interpretation The 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

    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

    Shakespeare’s "Macbeth"‚ we see a lot of evil; we see evil people and we see evil acts. We can see that - almost - everyone has an evil desire within them. However‚ only a really evil person acts on that impulse and commits something morally wrong. An evil deed doesn’t necessarily mean an evil soul; Lady Macbeth was not naturally evil. Before her and her husband came to the conclusion of killing‚ they had their doubts. How can someone be pure evil‚ if they doubt the evil that they want to commit? Lady Macbeth’s

    “How is Lady Macbeth presented as a disturbed character?” In the Shakespeare play Macbeth‚ his wife Lady Macbeth is presented in many ways‚ mainly a controlling‚ cold‚ crazy lady.

    passive and frail characters while men are expected to be aggressive and ambitious. Shakespeare toys with society’s expectations of gender roles in his play‚ “Macbeth”. Gender provides the main source of conflict in the play through the distortion of traditional gender roles‚ the apparent contrasts between Lady Macbeth and Macbeth‚ and manipulation through gender. Throughout the play many characters act in opposition to their expected gender roles. The best example of this is Lady Macbeth. As a woman
