Macbeth Relationship

Summary:  

This is about the relationship of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, in the play "Macbeth".

Macbeth Relationship

"Come, you spirits / That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, / And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full / Of direst cruelty!" (1.5.40-43). Also she speaks to her husband with no respect, like he has wronged her and owes her a great debt. "Was the hope drunk / Wherein you dress'd yourself? Hath it slept since"" (1.7.35-36), then goes on to say, "From this time / Such I account thy love" (1.7.38-39). Here she criticizes him, then says he'll do it if he loves her, she does not hesitate to manipulate and risk him.....
