witchcraft, evidenced by his re-publication of Daemonologie on
his ascent to the English throne, Shakespeare can be seen to be
exploiting a topical fear of the times to grip his audience.

Your go #1:

Lady Macbeth is portrayed as a woman who intends to influence her


husband’s actions.. In Act One, Scene Five,…

In Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is a very strong powerful women at the beginning


of the play. Due to her actions towards her husbands, this is shown to go
against the Jacobean theme, of women have no authority or power. We can
tell Lady Macbeth is the leader of their marriage, because she is telling her
husband confidently to ‘wash your hands, put on your night-gown.’ The word
‘put’ is the key dominate word in the sentence, this is an imperative, she is
giving instructions. This links back to the patriarchal Jacobean era, because
women wouldn’t of bossed about their husbands, they would of stayed quiet
and done the housework, and stayed at home while the masculine figure earnt
the money. It is an order, for Macbeth to do. Shakespeare presents lady
Macbeth as the dominate character, as conventional the man should be the
dominate charcter. Which isn’t a normal thing that would happen in the
Jacobean period. The character progression through the play of Lady Macbeths
character changes completely from a confident strong dominate lady to a
scared, timid no good old lady. The reader could even think that Lady Macbeth
could have been the fourth whitch, as they were seen as manipulative and
convincing, Lady Macbeth is convincing macbeth to do her dirty work.

Your go #2:

Towards the end of the play, Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth driven mad
with guilt. In Act One, Scene Five,…

Towards the end of the play, Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth driven mad
with guilt. Lady Macbeth feels extremely guilty for both what her and her
husband Macbeth have done. Although Lady Macbeth started off the play as
the dominate character in Macbeth and her marriage we are told near to the
end of the play, that Lady Macbeth as gone quite mad, in Lady Macbeth
soliloquy, she is going mad, she is shouting say things like, ‘out dammed spot!’
this is Lady Macbeth hallucinating, trying to get the blood of her hand, trying to
forget her guilty work. This is a cross reference to earlier on in the play when
the same was happing to Macbeth, when he was saying ‘will all great
Neptune’s ocean wash this blood.’ the word oceans proves that it is the whole
of the sea .By the end of the play we know Lady Macbeth has gone mad, we
can tell she has a very intense mental illness, because of the way she acts and
sleepwalks.
