In William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, there’s a complete and utter deterioration of Macbeth’s relationship with his wife, Lady Macbeth, which can be seen through how they interact as the play progresses.
In the beginning of the play, Macbeth hears a prophecy foretold by the Three Witches. After he hears this, he immediately writes a letter to his wife (which is read aloud by Lady Macbeth in Act I, Scene 5) and tells her what was happening and what the Witches told him regarding him having to kill King Duncan. He even adorns the letter with, “...my dearest partner of greatness.” This can be seen as the most open part of their relationship, where Macbeth is aware of how he and Lady Macbeth are a team and that they need to work together in order
