Final words

Lady Macbeth a contradictory character

BUT

  • She appeares CRUEL
  • Acusses Macbeth to be SOFTNESS
  • Wants MASCULINE traits

Curiosities

  • THE CHARACTER OF LADY MACBETH : She wasn’t represented to portray a strong woman but for remembering to women to not try to show different traits from their gender role
  • PERSONALITY CHANGES: Lady Macbeth is able to exude different personas whenever she wishes, but she never looks like herself in the presence of other people
  • LADY MACBETH'S DEATH: She's committing her suicide off-stage probably because Shakespear didin't want the audiance to be thinking too much about this character, feeling that she could be a distraction from the main action unfolding on-stage.
