How Has Lady Macbeth Changed

At the middle of the play Sheila has gained more power. For example in act 2 when Sheila tells her mother of by saying that ‘impertinent is such a silly word’ and Mrs Birling replies ‘in any case’ Sheila says, 'But, mother, do stop before it’s too late.' The word `stop’ tell us that she is now in more power and she is telling her mother to stop talking to the inspector like this. This links with the play as Edwardian woman are supposed to be non-violent. Also she says, 'you wait mother.' By using the word `you’ she is commanding her mother and now she is making her own decision. Before Sheila never talked to her mother like this, this shows that Sheila has gained more power and can now stand out for herself and decide what is right for her. On the other hand, Lady Macbeth is gradually losing her power. For example in act 3 scene 2 she ask Macbeth 'What’s to be done,' Macbeth replies 'Be innocent of the knowledge.' The word `innocent’ suggest that Macbeth is not involving Lady Macbeth in his plans and telling her to act more innocent.. This shows that she has lost power because now Macbeth is in control and he is making the important decision. Also, in act 3 scene 2 Lady Macbeth speaks to Macbeth and says, 'you must leave this,' and Macbeth replies 'O, full of scorpion is my mind, dear wife' The word `scorpion’ suggest that his mind is now full of evilness. This tells us that Macbeth has stopped listening to his dear wife and he is now answering back. We can clearly see that she has lost power over her husband. This links with the play as Jacobean men made important

Macbeth is a play written by William Shakespeare. The play is a tragedy about a general in Scotland's army who kills to become king and how he deals with the following suspicion and uprisals. Over the course of the play Macbeth, Lady Macbeth changes more than Macbeth, because she becomes weaker while Macbeth remains relatively the same.

In the play The Tragedy of Macbeth written by William Shakespeare takes place in 1606 England. The setting (Time) of the play The Tragedy of Macbeth takes place around the middle ages around the eleventh century (11th) to be specific. In the play they didn’t only stay in England the move to numerous places for example they move to Scotland for a while. Setting is important to in the play The Tragedy of Macbeth because it allowes the reader/viewer to have a better understanding of the play/book. If The Tragedy of Macbeth was written in a different setting (time and place) the whole play/story would have been different.

When Macbeth and Lady Macbeth decide to kill Duncan they both have different reactions. Lady Macbeth is making her conscious more manly and

Death is always very mysterious and there are many questions that follow after one's death. Like could have this been avoided, or could we have changed the situation. There's always a what if in life and death. Just like in the story about macbeth, there were many people that died that could have been changed and not have happened, however there is one that stood out the most that seemed to be faulty, this would be Lady macbeth. Even though there was chance that situation could have changed and there would have been no death and she would have went crazy, there was no real way to stop the power of what if’s.

Macbeth went from a Strong fearsome, respected person to a heartless cold fearless murderer and as for Lady Macbeth she goes from a being willed strong

Not only does this suggest that he regards her as his equal, but also by treating Lady Macbeth in this manner, he is allowing her to have the opportunity to hold more power as his wife. After reading Macbeth’s letter regarding the witches’ prophecy and King Duncan’s impending visit to their castle, the desire for Lady Macbeth to lose her feminine qualities and gain masculine ones is indicated throughout the text. ‘Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here and fill me from the crown to the toe top full of direst cruelty.’ The kind Lady Macbeth becomes a scheming and treacherous woman who craves power and authority. There is a disruption in the traditional order of gender roles and it is evident that there is a role reversal between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth's usurpation of the dominant role in the Macbeth's marriage is highlighted throughout many occasions. She rules her husband and dictates his actions as she emasculates him to into taking action and killing Duncan so he can be ‘crown’d withal’ using the ‘valour of tongue’. At the end of the play the madly insane Lady Macbeth and wishes for things to return to how they were before. This leaves Macbeth to hold all the power, and make decisions on his own without the influence of Lady Macbeth. The power, in which their titles entail, had a horrible effect on the outcome of their

I Malcolm, the new king of Scotland, was crowned right after the death of Macbeth. Macbeth was a cruel king and made everyone suffer during his reign. I believe that I was good king and after my crowning, I had noticed that many people were still unhappy and going through a tough time from Macbeth. The whole world has changed since Macbeth came into power. What Macbeth did was cruel and I had to go through a few steps to restore the peace. I did what any good king would do, which is to be close with everyone. I did not think it was going to be this hard to get back to the happiness they had. I really did gain their trust and made everyone smile again. He had restored peace and order, but there also were some challenges to face. I had feared that people would try to kill me for the throne. Just like Macbeth, he would kill the king to take the throne. I did not trust anyone around me, even my most dearest relatives and friends. I had trouble

One of the most prominent changes occurs between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. When Lady Macbeth hears about the witches' prophecy, she decides to kill the King. Macbeth, while he shares her desire to kill Duncan, has second thoughts about it until she basically challenges his manhood. After he kills the King and Banquo (separately) he is distraught with shame and guilt, while Lady Macbeth holds herself together and covers for his strange behavior. In Act V Lady Macbeth begins to kind of give up and later commits suicide.

After Duncan’s death, Macbeth asserts himself more. He begins to make decisions without the influence of his wife. The sense of love and unity between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth seem to disappear. This marks significant change in the relationship as the couple is now turning into nothing more than mere partners in crime. This, in my opinion is the first significant change in the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

How the Relationship Between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth Changes and Develops During the Course of the Play

Macbeth and Lady Macbeth exchange qualities. Lady Macbeth becomes the way Macbeth was and Macbeth becomes the way Lady Macbeth was. “Then live, Macduff; what I need fear of thee? But yet I’ll make assurance double sure, And take a bond of fate. Thou shalt not live…” (Act IV, Scene 1) There it is shown that Macbeth’s attitude changes, he begins to take on Lady Macbeth’s role during the beginning of the play as the person in charge. Everette also says, “…he starts to not need her anymore…” Lady Macbeth has made Macbeth into the “greater man” she wanted him to be and now he is no longer held back by his conscience or guilt. In the next act Lady Macbeth loses her mind. She is constantly washing her hands and says she can still smell the blood, “…Here’s the smell of blood still.
