Read the analysis of Lady Macbeth, and then let us know what you think.

Answer 2

i think Lady Macbeth is aware that he is ambitious but not to the extent that Macbeth takes it, everybody is ambitous but have their own levels, do you know what im trying to say? i think she is aware of his pride and uses it against him to get him to commit the murder, like when she says she would do it if she was a man, shes trying to attack his man hood.

Answer 3

Yes -- but don't understate her level of ambition. A large part of this play is based on how much more ambitious and ruthless she is than her husband. She is, as that analysis says, "one of Shakespeare’s most famous and frightening female characters."

Be sure you reread that analysis of Lady Macbeth before you write up what you will submit.
