Here are the
traits of Lady Macbeth from Act 1 to 2
<span>1. </span>Cunning and Deceptive
Lady Macbeth
is very cunning. She was able to get the throne by persuading her husband,
Macbeth to murder King Duncan. She was able to find a fool-proof way to make
sure that she or her husband will not be considered suspects. She had welcome
King Duncan to her home. This happened around Act 1 lines 14-18
<span>2. </span>Strong Personality
<span>Unlike her
husband, Lady Macbeth possesses a very strong character. She is very smart; she
was able to persuade people to do things for her without exerting much. In the lines </span>69-79 in act I,
she was able to persuade Macbeth to look at their goals and not think of the
consequences
<span>3. </span>She is resolute and ambitious
From the
lines in Act scene 7, she was able to get what she wished for. Though her husband
was afraid, Lady Macbeth had made understand that if they get to kill Duncan,
they will become the monarch who will rule after Duncan.
<span>4. </span>Calm and Collected
In the scenes
in Act II. Scene i. 116-119, she remains calm after Duncan was
reported to have been killed. I believe that throughout the play, Lady Macbeth
had been her husband’s anchor especially when he started seeing the ghost of
Banquo and Duncan.
<span>5. </span>Her
love for her Husband
<span>Throughout the play, Lady Macbeth wanted the throne for her
husband and not for herself. She wanted him to be king and powerful. She didn’t
wish it for herself. This was cited in Act I.
scene v. 67, 68</span>
