Lady Macbeth- Her Manipulative Ways


Lady Macbeth uses many techniques to convince her husband to murder King Duncan. To begin with she placed ideas in Macbeths head and then pressured him by making him feel guilty. Also to make him feel guilty, she referred to their previous agreement to commit the torturous act. After she implies that she would consider him a coward. With all things considered she makes her hardest hit at her husband. She questioned his manhood. She says that real men keep their promises; she really seals it when she said that she would kill a child born to her that fed off of her own breast if she so promised to do so. Finally she tries to make light of the murder and makes it seem as it would be done quickly and that after the deed was finished everything would be alright again.
