LM is Lady macbeth btw i just ran out of room
Hiw shakespear portrays LM and macebeths relationship in the whole text
Shakespeare portrays LM's and Macbeth's relationship as quite complex and pationate throughout the whole play however, it is constantly evolving and changing. At first they are depicted as a close couple with a strong and unbreakable bond and love for eachother, although as the play progresses further their relationship starts to deteriorate due to the guilt and their never ending ambition for power and wealth.
Throughout the play, the couple bonds over murder, guilt and a hunger for power. They both feed of each other in order to maintain a position of power
Shakespear portrays LM and Macbeths relationship as one of love and gratitude through the whole play. LM and Macbeth are a loving couple. They share their thoughts, plans, and ambitions. Lady Macbeth is the dominant figure in the relationship, as shown when she persuades Macbeth to kill King Duncan.
"Hie thee hither, That I may pour my spirits in thine ear, And chastise with the valor of my tongue All that impedes thee from the golden round."
In act one scene seven, the marriage is seen to being very strained, in anticipation of the murder they are about to commit. Macbeth starts of the scene with a soliloquy. He lays with both sides of the argument, at first contemplating the possibility that everything goes to plan and he follows Lady Macbeth’s ambition. He then turns to the potentially violent consequences, suggesting that if he and Lady Macbeth resort to murder, as the inventors, it will eventually come back to the however as this play was written at a time where women had no power or rights. So Macbeth wouldn't have realised is that Lady Macbeth would have never been suspected or punished for a crime that she couldn't of commited as she was a women.
Relationship After Duncan's Murder
After the murder of King Duncan, their relationship begins to change and become more of a mutual exchange and Lady Macbeth continues to get Macbeth to kills those who may stand in their way however Macbeth starts to exclude Lady Macbeth from his plans, such as the murder of Banquo, indicating a growing distance between them.
"Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck, Till thou applaud the deed." This is telling us that Macbeth doesn't what Lady Macbeth do even know what his plans are so that she has no knowledge of his crimes
Towards the end of the play, their relationship deteriorates further. Lady Macbeth's guilt over their actions leads to her mental breakdown and eventual suicide. Macbeth, on the other hand, becomes increasingly isolated and paranoid. This is irony it was mostly Macbeth who was thought to feel the most guilty not Lady Macbeth
"Out, damned spot! Out, I say!" This is when Lady Macbeth is sleep walking and washing blood from her hands in her sleep indicating her growing guilt and insanity
In conclusion, Shakespeare presents the relationship between Lady Macbeth and Macbeth as initially close but ultimately destroyed by their shared ambition and guilt which corrupted their minds and relationship
