Lady Macbeth is presented as a powerful, cruel & Controlling person in the play of Macbeth by William Shakespeare.
This is Evident in Act 2 Scene 2 after Duncan’s death sequence where lady Macbeth is questioning her Husband about the events in the previous scene. She uses quotes like ” a foolish thought, to say a sorry sight”, Which is presenting Lady Macbeth as a cruel person who doesn’t care about Duncan’s death from the quote above and the fact that Macbeth has just killed Duncan in the scene before this quote is spoken.
The way Lady Macbeth was a massive change to stereotypical thoughts about how women should act in the Jacobean era. As instead of been loving and tender she is quite unloving and not so tender. her actions are unkind and unjustified like when she wants her Husband to kill Duncan and then treat him like she didn’t say It was the best Solution. This is evident with quotes like “Sir” and “Thane” instead of love which is symbolising her hate after Duncan’s death.
Lady Macbeth comes to lose her power over Macbeth after the Banquet scene where Banquets ghost comes back to taunt him and turn him insane with quilt.
Although Lady Macbeth does Treat Macbeth Properly as she does listen this problems but in my opinion she is still a good example of a hateful person as she is Rude, Manipulative and is self centred presenting Lady Macbeth as both good and bad but in my opinion her evil side is more apparent then her good side.
In conclusion all the factors have the same outcome of how much of a rude and manipulative person in another awesome and brilliantly made play by Shakespeare.
