Shakespeare 's tragedy, Macbeth, explores the ideas of power, control and self-destruction. Lady Macbeth embodies these ideas as she is a dominant woman who, because she persuades her husband to kill King Duncan, has lost control by the end of the play. In comparison to the Manga, the manga also expresses the same ideas of power and insanity. Although, the cover does not display the character of Lady Macbeth, it conveys the main concepts of Macbeth: and one of them is power. The witches are in power of Macbeth – Macbeth’s future lies within the hands of the witches.

In this scene, Lady Macbeth constantly interrupts his lines, whilst Macbeth seeks for power within these lines as he interrupts her also. However, it is clear that Lady Macbeth is in full power in this battle of dominance as she interrupts his previous and ends his line with 'we fail?’ She questions him and finishes the conversation with ‘we fail?’ as though she is certain and free of doubt that they will be unsuccessful. The importance of this question is expressed in the manga as she questions him with ‘We? Fail??’ which is in bold in the manga and it has extra questions marks. She could have said 'we will not fail ' but she called for a question instead. She is indirectly asking him 'Why would we fail, do you not trust me? ' and this is her testing his love and trust for her. Similarly, in the manga in the same scene she overpowers him, and once again she is in power.

This shows a clear mental breakdown as she sleepwalks to recall the fragments of the events of the murder of Duncan, Banquo and Lady Macduff. As she sleepwalks she says 'what 's done cannot be undone ', thus suggesting it 's no longer of concern, and however, these events have clearly affected her. In the manga it shows concern and how the previous action has affected as she is on foot and above earlier on in the manga, dominating the other characters, but in Act 5, scene 1, she 's alone and the images are showing her body language rather facial features. She 's also on the floor which suggests that she has lost all the power - from all audacity and ambition, they have led her to insanity and self-destruction. As she is sleepwalking, she is recalling her deeds with guilt. Her guilt is shown through her repetition of language as she repeats 'yet here 's a spot ' and says 'out damned spot! Out I say!’, and one only repeats oneself when something is bothering them, and they can’t get it out of their head. She is hallucinates a spot of blood and this is a reminder of King Duncan 's death, hence she is guilty, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been thinking of blood or anyone’s
