Women can also be seen as godly because they are the domains in which life is created. Kings are all powerful; something that Macbeth lacks because he is not acting as a man. Lady Macbeth acts as more than a man in her story, she acts as a God. The act of killing her own baby while it is drinking its life source, the life source that only she can provide him.…

    “Fair is foul, and foul is fair” is a common theme demonstrated through the momentous play of Macbeth along with the relationship between power and titles (I, i, 10).

    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.
