Macbeth

Macbeth Lady Macbeth During the early days, many women did not have power or input on situations. They were thought to be non-intelligent, and the men mostly ruled over women and had all the power. Although in the play “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare, it was a different story for Lady Macbeth. She (who was married to Macbeth) had much control and power over her husband, because she was good at manipulating him to get what she wanted. This was a deadly situation, because she was mentally unstable. First, in the beginning of the play Lady Macbeth heard that Macbeth must kill the king in order to take his place. After she heard of this news she instantly thought about becoming queen and all the power that comes with it (1.5.20-27). She was so greedy for the power that she would to any length to get it. Lady Macbeth went to her husband and manipulated him into getting rid of the king, like the oracles told her. Lady Macbeth knew she was good at getting her way with her words (1.4.23). Macbeth doubted her words at first, but Lady Macbeth kept insisting that he go go with her evil plans.
