How does Lady Macbeth text when Macbeth says ‘we will go no further in the business”?
Lady Macbeth comes across passive aggressive before Act 1 Scene 7, but during this Scene we see she is very controlling and manipulative. She uses insults to take away people’s ambition and can use others to her advantage. She is often written as a snake by using sibilance, ‘with this surcease, success’, the reference to a snake suggests she is sly and cunning when she wants to be. As snake are seen as dangerous and untrustworthy in society, the use of the snake suggests that Lady Macbeth will betray Macbeth in the future. She also reacts in a way that people will see her as a bully and an agressive person, we see this when she says, ‘screw your courage to the sticking place’. She also calls Macbeth a coward this shows that she try’s to make people think their choices are theirs when they are hers.
