When writing this letter, Macbeth refers to his wife as "my dearest partner in greatness". However, as the play progresses, it is easy to identify that the relationship between Macbeth and his wife is not an equalized one, and that, surprisingly, it is Lady Macbeth who seems to obtain the dominant role in their partnership, appearing to defy all stereotypes and having few of the qualities of what a queen would usually resemble. From observing how eager and determined she became on achieving her ambition - for Macbeth to become King - it appears that she Is not at all disturbed by her conscience, in fact, the only thing on her mind is determination to accomplish this evil deed that she is about to commit. Lady Macbeth knows inside of her that it is she who is really going to be the boss, her who is going to actually have to carry out the crime, with Macbeth just acting as the side-kick. According to Lady Macbeth, her husband is "too full o'th" milk of human kindness", meaning that he did not have the bravery or courage to do anything rebellious - in this case, commit the regicide of the King. .
Art not without ambition, but without .
The illness should attend it.".
This quote shows that Lady Macbeth recognise the want inside of Macbeth to fulfil the witches prophecies and be determined enough to make himself become King, but lacks the will to be ambitious enough to achieve it, or at least by himself. .
Although, in the first scene of the play the witches mention Macbeth's name, immediately giving the impression that he was associated with them and their evil habits, it is, in fact, Lady Macbeth who is truly wicked deep down, and is rapidly becoming more and more so throughout the play. Appreciating that Macbeth does not withhold the "power" that she possesses, she then realises that she will have to do more than just persuade him with her own words, and calls upon the evil spirits to help her transform her husband ideally into a somewhat evil character.
