Macbeth essay.
Shakespeare’s character, Lady Macbeth changes substantially throughout the play. ...
Lady Macbeth first appears in Act 1 Scene 5 opening with her soliloquy reading her husbands letter of the witches prophecies. Macbeth refers to her as ‘my partner of human greatness’ which shows that the couple is very close, and as soon as she finishes reading the letter, she decides that she will make sure Macbeth is king and it is as if she and Macbeth are thinking the same thing. ... Macbeth is a very ambitious character, he wants what he has been prophesied but he has not got the evil presence to get what he wants, and when Macbeth enters and tells lady Macbeth that ‘Duncan comes here tonight’ her ambitious thought automatically becomes an opportunity as she knows that killing Duncan is the only way of quickly achieving her goal. In Act 1 scene 6 Lady Macbeth welcomes Duncan with elaborate courtesy trying to cover up her disingenuous manor, an example is ‘we rest your hermits’, meaning we will pray for you constantly which can be described as slightly ironic.
