    Both the Speaker and Lady Macbeth utilize their flirtatious sexual behavior and dialect in the same way. They both have an uncanny ability to sexually seduce the male characters e.g. Macbeth and the Apothecary to complete their end goals and get what they want. For example Lady Macbeth uses sexual encouragement to persuade Macbeth to commit the murders, though in some circumstances that does not work so she questions the manliness of him saying that he should be the woman and her the man. So inevitably

    One interpretation of the text is that Lady Macbeth and Macbeth's relationship is not adherently abusive as she is seen as pushing Macbeth so he can strive to be his best self. For example in Macbeth, Lady Macbeth gives a soliloquy after opening Macbeth's letter, where she proclaims, "thy nature; it is too full o' th' milk of human kindness." (1.5.4). In the context of a non-abusive relationship, the quote relays the message that Lady Macbeth would help Macbeth to become the king of Scotland as he

    Throughout the beginning play, Lady Macbeth is viewed more as a mastermind. She has control of what happens, and will do whatever it takes for her personal interests to be satisfied. I believe that she is more responsible for the death of Duncan. Even though Macbeth physically killed Duncan, he planned none of it. Lady Macbeth in the first act tells us exactly what will happen, who will get blamed, and how he will claim the throne so she can rise through the ranks. A great example is in Act I Scene

    I deem Macbeth to be guiltier than Lady Macbeth. Firstly, Macbeth has intense loyalty and respect towards King Duncan, and despite of the negative influence the witches and Lady Macbeth have become for him, he should have been very resistant and totally oppose the idea of assassinating of King Duncan, considering the fact that he was the strong and loyal warrior who King Duncan respected very much. Factually, Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth to assassinate King Duncan in order to inherit the Scottish Throne
