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"
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.
Who stated screw thy courage to the sticking place and we'll not fail in Macbeth?
Lady Macbeth, in Act 1, 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.
