Most people in her shoes would have walked out the door, or would have an affair. She stayed true to her husband.
Macbeth was happy with the fortune he had, but when evil creeps in and tells him a truth with a twist, things go for a spin. He gives word to his wife about the truth he had heard, and she immediately starts making plans for him to be king. She is blinded by the thirst for more power and control and wealthy.

Lady Macbeth is filled evil schemes, and knows how to achieve her goal of getting her husband into the kingly position. Lady Macbeth is very convincing in her ideas, and does not leave a lot of space to think otherwise. Macbeth is not left much choice but to conform himself to his wife’s mischievous strategy to get him to become king. He is very loyal, and wants to remain so to his king even knowing he would become king if Duncan, the present king, were to die. Lady Macbeth, however, has other plans for Macbeth, and she soon has him convinced to commit an act which will change their lives forever. Macbeth and his wife are truly opposite people, as Macbeth is laid back and easy going, while Lady Macbeth wants everything planned out and will go onward with plans no matter who they affect. She truly does make Macbeth a more interesting person through her evil schemes.
At the beginning of the play, Macbeth’s character starts off as a loyal and brave soldier, who is admired by many people. Throughout the play, however, it is evident that his character and the personality of his character change a lot. There are many aspects that changed his character. What the witches said to him I think changed him the most. Before the witches spoke to him, he didn’t think of what it would be like to be king, or any of the other things, but because the first prediction came true, it led him to believe all the others would as well. The witches are what started him off thinking of how powerful he could become. Obviously his wife talked him into it, but without what the
In the play, “Macbeth”, the character that stands out the most is Lady Macbeth. Her role in this story is significant, she is an evil, ruthless, and ambitious person. She is responsible for the murders that her husband commits because she was bloodthirsty for the crown. In fact, she then becomes more eager to get the crown than Macbeth himself and soon realizes that once you commit one violent act, there is almost no way of ever turning back. An analysis of Lady Macbeth reveals that she is a powerful character who adds complexity and depth to a play about murder, madness, and revenge.
When Macbeth was introduced to his late wife, there was a spark between them I've never seen before. Macbeth treated his conquest with such respect and delicacy, she couldn't have refused his proposal. They had a very close marriage, and it was filled with love and warmth. It was the kind of union every man hopes he'll be blessed with in his lifetime. Lady Macbeth once told me that her husband was the most caring man she'd ever met. I believe that prior to Macbeth's troubles and strife, that he and his wife had a very healthy relationship. When his wife's mental health was beginning to fail, he could not bear to watch his beloved deteriorate. In the end perhaps it was best that they not go on in life without the other. Their love was deep and beautiful, even if it was incomprehensible at times.
Women (according to Shakespearean times) were supposed to be fragile, weak, and feminine; however, Lady Macbeth is vicious, cruel, and masculine in the play. Lady MacBeth becomes the prime mover and instigator in the entire regicide business. Revealing that she wishes to depart her feminine traits, because being a female makes her weaker, foreshadows Lady Macbeth's future actions. She has no intention of waiting for a chance of crown and prefers to take a speedy and violent action. Lady MacBeth is ambitious, driven, and full of the dark spirits. Fearing MacBeth's nature “of the milk of human kindness" calls upon the forces of the supernatural to "unsex" her (39). The mood is created through the use of the supernatural forces that create a sense of fear and uncertainty. Lady Macbeth asks to be filled with cruelty, remove all remorse, and to remove her milk which is associated with nurture and care to be replaced with bitter gall. A recurring motif is the
He is a loyal husband and would go above and beyond to please her. Harold Bloom states, “Macbeth is led by himself to face his fears and envisions a dagger in front of him” (Online). Macbeth is given the command by his wife to kill King Duncan so that he could be the king. He was very hesitant until the dagger was put in front of him and that’s when he faced his fears. He was courageous in doing so and killed the King.
Despite her hard exterior, Lady Macbeth does love her husband. The two were very intimate. Then Macbeth’s world became so consumed by securing his title of king that he is no longer the Macbeth she loves. He is distant towards her and they are no longer the passionate lovers they once were. These feelings of melancholy take a turn for the worse when she learns of the murders of Banquo and Lady Macduff. She is so overcome with grief and guilt that she begins sleepwalking and sees hallucinations of her hands being soaked with blood. She knows her greed for the queen’s crown led to Macbeth becoming a callous murderer; therefore she is tormented by endless guilt. This is a major transition from gleefully plotting King Duncan’s demise. Unable to cope with the despair, Lady Macbeth commits

In this essay I will discuss the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. I will explain how their relationship is different to traditional relationships of the time. At the time, Jacobean people believed that the men were stronger then the woman. They believed that, when married, the husband would be in control and the wife would have no choice but to do what their husband asked. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s relationship was every different.
