Answer:
As per Gerstel and Sarkisian, the social class is more significant than ethnicity to understand the dissimilarities between family ties as well as the behavior of ethnic groups. <em>To substantiate their claim, they have compared the distinct ethnic groups and developed a database that helped in examining the distinctions in the practical, financial, and emotional relationships of each group and this also supported their claim</em>. It contains critical distinction to the authors because their assumptions lack a universal approach and apply to certain conditions.
Macbeth and his wife had a nice relationship until he encountered the witches who prophesied his kingship. His wife then urged him to kill King Duncan so she would be queen and he king. This of course was desfavorable for both of them. The relationship they have after becoming king and queen is less warm and emotionally penetrating. Macbeth became an old shell of a man (sociopath) while his wife became a lunatic. Things between them wasn’t as they used to be when they had a less social standing.
