Love Is Blind

There is a big contrast between the way the readers and Macbeth view Lady Macbeth. The readers get a sense that Lady Macbeth is a manipulative, wicked, selfish woman. When she learns Macbeth will be next in line for the throne, she immediately starts planning a scheme to murder the current king, Duncan. However, when Macbeth decides he no longer wishes to carry out with the plan, Lady Macbeth gets furious. She starts to downgrade Macbeth and talks him back into the plan. Macbeth seems to be blind to his wife's evil attributes. He still loves his wife and agrees with everything she says without question. Macbeth doesn't think twice when his wife tells him her plan and ends up praising her.
