Blog 14: The Macbeths

In the beginning of the play, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are very attached and dependent on each other. Persuasion and ambition plays a big role in their relationship. Lady Macbeth questions her husband's manhood and she knows what buttons to push with him. She mocks Macbeth and is hungry for power. She portrays herself as a kind and good person while she's really evil.

Lady Macbeth needs to stop teasing Macbeth and he needs to tell her how he feels about her behavior. Macbeth needs to tell her when she's out of line and being too controlling. They do have a close relationship so they should be able to talk things through. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth should be totally honest with each other and not keep secrets. They need to especially work on their communication with each other.
