Question

Which statement comparing Lady Macbeth to her husband in The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act I, seems most accurate? Explain why each choice is accurate or inaccurate.

Answer 1

Lady Macbeth is (D) more decisive than her husband. She is the one who insists on the murder of the King even when Macbeth hesitates. She continues to stay ambitious and true to her initial plan to make Macbeth king, even if Macbeth has doubts because he believes he is supposed to be loyal to the king. Lady Macbeth says her self that her husband is too kind; "It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness/ To catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great./ Art not without ambition, but without/ the illness should attend it. What thou wouldst highly"(1.5.1) meaning that A is incorrect. B is also incorrect because she is more ambitious than her husband. She says herself that nothing will stop her from making Macbeth King in scene 5 of act 2, as she says she will feel no remorse. This all also means that C is incorrect, because she does not care for the consequences and will do whatever it takes to make her husband, Macbeth, the King and to go through with the plan to King Duncan.

Answer 2

d, Explanation: Lady Macbeth remains firmly behind the plan to murder Duncan while her husband, in contrast, is far more hesitant. Choice a is incorrect. In Act I, she seems less kind and gentle than he does. Choice b is incorrect. Lady Macbeth begins thinking of the murder of Duncan as soon as she reads his letter about the witches' predictions, which include the remark about Macbeth being "king hereafter." Choice c is incorrect. While her husband recognizes the possible dangers of killing Duncan, Lady Macbeth does not foresee any problems.
