Lady Macbeth's actions do not reflect the traditional gender roles of the period in which the play was written.
<h3>What were the gender roles at the time?</h3>
- Women were extremely submissive to their husbands.
- Men were responsible for running a wedding.
- Women were not dominant figures and had to deal with domestic affairs.
- Men were solely responsible for matters such as politics, monarchy, battles, among other matters.
