In Act 1 Scene 7 of the Shakespearean play, Lady Macbeth [b. c. 1015] played an important role in the course of events. Her husband, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057], didn't want to proceed in the killing of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Lady Macbeth succeeded in getting her husband back on course, on the same page with her. Macbeth tried to get what he wanted or what was his due by going by the book. But his wife managed to convince him that they couldn't wait for the throne of Scotland to fall into their laps. They needed to take action even if it meant heinous deeds. In essence, Lady Macbeth persuaded her husband that the ends justified the means.

What does lady Macbeth often question about macbeths character?

She questions his manhood. See especially in Act 1 Scene 7. It is a sore spot with Macbeth and she knows it. "If thou durst do it, then thou wert a man"


Why is Lady Macbeth anxious to have Duncan at Dunsinane?

Lady Macbeth isn't anxious to have Duncan at Dunsinane. Dunsinane is the palatial residence where the Macbeths live after they are crowned King and Queen of the Scots. King Duncan is killed at the previous residence of the Macbeths, at Inverness. And the murder of the King is exactly why the Lady seeks, and then delights in, his presence in her home [Act 2 Scenes 5-7].


What was the crisis in 'Macbeth' and how did characters begin to solve the problem?

The crisis in Macbeth takes place in Act I Scene 7. Macbeth is contemplating murder, and it is unclear whether he will or will not proceed with the murder. His reason tells him not to, but when he communicates that decision to his wife, she pushes all of his emotional buttons and he proceeds despite his better judgement. After that it's all downhill as guilt, insomnia, irrationality and madness engulf the Macbeths. The problem or issue of whether to kill Duncan or not could only have been resolved differently had Lady M failed to persuade Macbeth to commit the crime in Act I Scene 7.

What part does Lady Macbeth play in Macbeths decision to kill the king?

The crucial part. Without Lady Macbeth, this would have been Macbeth's final decision: "We will proceed no further in this business." Macbeth would never have killed Duncan unless Lady Macbeth had goaded him into it.

What was your assessment of Act 1 Scene 7?

Readers and viewers of the Shakespearean play first met Lady Macbeth [b. c. 1015] in Act 1 Scene 5. She read her husband's letter giving her last-minute notice of an overnight stay by King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] and telling her of predictions of upward mobility by the three witches. Lady Macbeth didn't share her reaction to the royal visit with the audience. Instead, she focused on the glorious career moves. That reaction gave readers and viewers a sinking feeling about Lady Macbeth's ambitious, scheming character. The audience's negative suspicions were confirmed somewhat further by the arrival of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] and the quick interaction between him and his Lady. Lady Macbeth quickly took over the conversation, and told her husband how to behave and think towards their sovereign. But it was only in Scene 7 that the audience's worst suspicions were confirmed absolutely. Macbeth tried to talk the two of them out of becoming King of Scotland by foul means if not by fair. His wife relentlessly and ruthlessly removed all of his objections. By the end of the scene, it was clear that the Macbeths shared the fatal, tragic flaw of raging ambition. It also was clear that Macbeth had the additional fatal, tragic flaw of manipulability by his wife. In her presence, he lost the leadership role that he so bravely and nobly held down elsewhere. In her presence, Macbeth only could follow her obsessive, ruthless, scheming, unscrupulous lead.
