A Shakespearean Love Story
In the times of arranged marriages, it was not set up for love, but more for gain. Matching people for wealth, status, and the others talents. We do not find ourselves in that situation when we begin reading the play Macbeth. Over time the two fall out of love and throughout the play Lady Macbeth becomes the one to blame for her husband's ultimate downfall.
Some people think that their relationship was difficult the whole way through. They back up this claim with the quote “I would, while it was smiling in my face, Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you have done to this” (Act 1, Scene 7).
