How does Shakespeare present the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth?
Shakespeare presents the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth as a non-typical
Edwardian marriage since Lady Macbeth is seen to be in control and not Macbeth
...
Lady Macbeth controls Macbeth in the given extract
...
Lady Macbeth
wants him to kill Dunacan and become king to do this she tells him ‘Look like th’inncocent flower
...
He must decide others so they don’t suspect and malice or his plans to kill Duncan
...
The adjective ‘innocent’ suggests what
Macbeth wants to be innocent and go to heaven, much like many people of the time did but his
wife’s controlling relationship over him suggests he will never be innocent again as she ultimately
has control over him
...
Lady Macbeth is also very manipulative of Macbeth, she manipulates him to kill the king through
insulting his manhood and calling him a coward
...
This motivates to prove his manhood and kill Duncan
...
Shakespeare uses a
simile to describe how the relationship works between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth as Lady Macbeth
tell Macbeth he is ‘Like the poor cat I’ the adage’ suggests the cat much like Macbeth wants
something but doesn’t want to do anything to get it
...
The way Lady Macbeth speaks to Macbeth at the banquet is a good way to show the relationship
between the two
...
This is very similar to how a mother would
talk to a naughty child instead of a women talking to her husband, this would have be unacceptable
in this society of the play
...
Which might appall the devil
...
The use of the noun ‘devil’ relates back to the beliefs at the time and how
Macbeth has accepted he will never go to heaven and hell is waiting for him
...
It doesn’t follow the rules of marriage in Edwardian society
and through it is clear throughout the play they Macbeth has affection for his wife and wants to
please her, it is this trait that eventually leads to his downfall
