LOVE IS BLIND

The audience sees Lady Macbeth as a crazy person, that is extremely evil. Especially, when she explains the scene about his gums and her nipples and how ready she would be to kill the King. The audience of course wants to jump into the story and tell Macbeth not to listen to her and to let the power of the king come to him naturally rather than committing an evil act just to get the power. Where I look at Lady Macbeth as a psycho and someone who has a lot of anger inside that is only taken out on other people, Macbeth sees her as an authority figure, who knows whats best for him. Macbeth, although questioning it himself, thinks that his wife of all people would tell him the right thing. This is why Macbeth will give in and commit the crime. Macbeth does not see her words as crazy, but rather ignores them and looks at what could be the potential problems that come from this and how will they deal with them. He worries about what people will say about him and what will happen if the fail, but again Lady Macbeth is there to pick him up and give him confidence. This is why he doesn't see the suggestion as crazy, but rather of possible truth. The fact that Macbeth is even considering that this decision could be right and whats best for him and the people shows that he is a very confused and controlled person. This goes to show Lady Macbeth's power over people because Macbeth would never do something like this if it wasn't for his wife in his ear encouraging him to do so.
