Lady Macbeth

Evil, controlling, and manipulative, those are all words that I would use to describe Lady Macbeth and those are words the entire class used also. I disagree with the people in class who say that Lady Macbeth is not these things. I think that if it was not for her Macbeth would not kill anybody. She is like a puppeteer controlling every move he makes. She knows what pushes his buttons and uses that. I am sure this is not the first case of this. Women do this all the time because they know that they can. Obviously woman now a days do it differently than in those days, because now woman show more skin and are more sexual than back then. I personally think that’s where the stereotypes come from and if a woman is doing these things, than she can’t complain about the bad wrap woman get. I think that it is neat that Shakespeare somewhat puts the woman in charge here but he could have done it to make her look better. But what a big shock a woman looks bad in Shakespeare’s play.
