Everyone at the table had puzzled faces besides one and that was Lady Macbeth. Her face looked exposed as if she was caught in the act of a crime. “Oh hahaha, excuse my husband he’s been acting a bit off lately,” the wife said as if it explained this weird incident. All the guests knew she was just trying to cover up what we had just seen and heard. My once grumbling stomach was filled with the four course meal but for some reason the food didn't sit right in my stomach. The whole scene with Macbeth talking to himself didn't seem right to me. For the rest of the night his words stuck in my head. The dinner went on with no more excitement besides when we all broke out in a dance after dessert. When the song stopped playing the crowd lined up

    Before and during the murder Lady Macbeth’s character changes from persuasive, manipulative and dominant to just dominant, but Macbeth’s character also changes but in a unique way since his character changes from a person who relies on others to decide for him to a remorseful person.

In addition to her being persuasive, it also seems as if she may be an impatient person, as she said, ‘I dare not wait’.…
