"Macbeth's letter to his wife and their response to it reveal much about the character of husband and wife. With Macbeth's letter, we see a loving husband corresponding with his wife being brutally honest about his feelings and desires. Macbeth sheds some light on the world he knows by allowing us to see his love, his ambition, and his intrigue with the Weird Sisters. Lady Macbeth's response to this letter reveals the dominant traits of her personality, which are greed and ambition. There is no doubt that love exists between these two people but we know from Lady Macbeth's reaction that it is not completely necessary. This couple works best when they feed on ambition and Lady Macbeth knows just how to get her husband to move."Sample of Sources Used:
- Shakespeare, William. Macbeth. New York: Washington Square Press.1959.
