How has the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth changed compared to the one they had?
The relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth has changed drastically compared to the one they had. Act 3, scene 2 presents the couple after Duncan’s murder. The relationship seems to have decayed as the couple no longer confides in one another and the personal characteristics have reversed. Prior to the murderous plot of Duncan, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were a devoted team. Macbeth was a humble man loved by all. Lady Macbeth was an encouraging, comforting wife. Now Macbeth is mentally unstable and no longer confides in his wife as he does not tell her his plan for Banquos murder. Lady Macbeth is fearful, remorseful, lonely, and discontent. However, she still encourages and comforts her husband. As illustrated, Macbeth and Lady Macbeths relationship has suffered due to the murder of Duncan. The communication between the two has deteriorated as well as Macbeths sanity and Lady Macbeths happiness.
