In Shakespeare's Macbeth, the character Lady Macbeth does not conform to the gender expectations of her time. Her nonconformity is shown through the actions she takes—rebelling against the common notion of feminity by inciting violence—to ensure her husband's, Macbeth's, place as king.

Because it seems that Lady Macduff is put forth as an example of the ideal woman, it is expected that she…

control over the thoughts they have. Lady Macbeth exemplifies psychopathy because of her will to kill out of love, her power obsession, and her constant illogical plans with false hope in mind. Lady Macbeth has an immense will to kill and this is typically viewed as an evil trait but realistically, she only does this out of love for her husband.
