Question

Read this passage:

MACBETH. We will proceed no further in this business:
He hath honour'd me of late; and I have bought
Golden opinions from all sorts of people,
Which would be worn now in their newest gloss,
Not cast aside so soon.

LADY MACBETH. Was the hope drunk
Wherein you dress'd yourself? hath it slept since?
And wakes it now, to look so green and pale
At what it did so freely? From this time
Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard
To be the same in thine own act and valour
As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that
Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life,
And live a coward in thine own esteem,
Letting "I dare not" wait upon "I would,"
Like the poor cat i' the adage?

MACBETH. Prithee, peace:
I dare do all that may become a man;
Who dares do more is none.

William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act I, scene vii
What evidence from the text supports the idea that Lady Macbeth believes her husband to be weak and cowardly?
A. I have bought / Golden opinions from all sorts of people
B. Wouldst thou have that / Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, / And live a coward in thine own esteem
C. I dare do all that may become a man; / Who dares do more is none
D. We will proceed no further in this business​

Answer 1

It seems like the answer is B

Answer 2

The evidence from Macbeth by William Shakespeare that supports the idea that Lady Macbeth believes her husband to be weak and coward is B: Wouldst thou have that / Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, / And live a coward in thine own esteem.

Step-by-step explanation:

In these lines, and the one that follows in her speech, Lady Macbeth expresses her feelings about her husband being a "coward" and having a low self esteem when she says: "As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that / Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, / And live a coward in thine own esteem,". In the following line her beliefs develop a little bit more when she adds: "Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would'," I think it is very clear that she thinks he doesn't dare to be brave and would rather live with fear than act based on his beliefs, that is why I chose the second option.
