When Lady Macbeth hears that her man is pretty much backing out she full on manipulates the crap out of him. She begins with questions that talk about him wanting to be king earlier in the play and that all of a sudden not meaning anything to him anymore. “What beast was’t then that made you break this enterprise to me? When you durst do it, then you were a man; and to be more then what you were, you would be so much more than a man. Nor time nor place did then adhere, and yet you would make both.” (Act1:Scene7 lines 47-52) In these few lines that Lady Macbeth is talking to Macbeth, she says that it is one thing to say that you are going to kill someone then actually killing someone.
