is the dominator of the play. Lady Macbeth's character is not as crazy as her husband's but it's just as dramatic.

Lady Macbeth has a rich and fascinating combination of qualities. She is not an evil person without any feelings; her husband adores her, for example, "Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck," (III, ii, 45). Macbeth also refers to Lady Macbeth as his dear partner. Lady Macbeth is horrified by blood and during her sleepwalking soliloquy she refers to her little hand suggesting a delicate nature and stature by uttering this: "All the perfumes / of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand." (V, i, 43-44). All of this, however, does very little to b

For example, in this scene from the play, Shakespeare gives the reader an idea of the twist that he gives her personality and how ruthless she can be:

How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me:

I would, while it was smiling in my face,

Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums,

Why did you bring these daggers from the place?

And wash this filthy witness from your hand.

Selfishly, she gets her husband's attention on the throne of Scotland. It is her who plans out all the details of the crime: "Only look up clear. / To alter favor ever is to fear. / Leave all the rest to me." (I, VI, 69-71). It is she who is more concerned that Macbeth has failed to kill Duncan, when he reconsiders the murder, than the possibility that their plans have been exposed. It is she, rather than Macbeth, who says,

Do breed unnatural troubles. Infected minds
