Lady Macbeth is first introduced to us in Act 1 Scene 5. This is when she receives a letter from Macbeth. The first image I get of her and I noticed it in the film was evil powerful and ambitious. I decided this due to she call's evil sprits upon her self so she can kill the king and become Queen. This is said through words like the following "unsex me here" saying she wants to get rid of her womanly feelings. "Take my milk for gall" saying change the milk to feed her child to poison, which tell us she's not really that normal. .
Also I get the picture that nothing will stop Lady Macbeth since she dreams of being Queen and she will achieve it. When Macbeth returns from battle she's all over him, and telling him what she wants to do, telling us the audience that she's in control over her Macbeth relationship. Once King Duncan arrives for his visit Lady Macbeth turns into the perfect hostess she's polite courteous and completely different to how we saw her previous telling us she can change her personality easily. In these scenes Duncan calls her "fair and noble hostess" where as the scene before Lady Macbeth has been plotting to kill Duncan. .
Lady Macbeth next appears in Act 2 Scene 3 when Macbeth enters with two "bloody daggers" after killing King Duncan, suddenly for a second but I noticed it on the video she got sacred which was showed when she spoke in short sentences then suddenly Lady Macbeth is in charge again "give me the daggers" imposing if your scared I"ll do it. Then in the video we see her bossing him around like he was a child. I found this scene particularly interesting to watch because it per traded each Lady Macbeth in to two ways in power and a scared and it was acted well so you could feel the tension there must have been between them at this moment.
