YOU'RE ALWAYS A WOMAN TO ME

When Macbeth speaks to Lady Mac, you can tell in his tone and choice of words that he is talking to an authoritative figure. In the letter he writes, he leaves out certain information and highlights other things as to only mention everything that is going well for him. Later on in Act I, Macbeth turns into Lady's little servant. From the audience's point of view, Lady Macbeth is a cruel, power starved maniac trying to manipulate her husband into killing the king. That's another thing worth mentioning-that these two are married. Its is really easy to forget that as you read the dialogue between these two. You can't help but feel sorry for Macbeth for being forced into doing something he obviously  doesn't want as much as the person nudging him to do it. I think Macbeth will eventually grow a backbone and somehow fight back against his maniacal wife.
