Shakespeare portrays Lady Macbeth differently throughout the play. Before Duncan's murder, she is more naive and pure than after King Duncan's murder, where she begins the road to madness and nervousness. At the beginning of the play, during scene 5 of Act 1, Lady Macbeth and Macbeth have a very close relationship and tell each other everything. At the beginning of the scene, Lady Macbeth is reading a letter from her husband Macbeth. Inside the letter Macbeth tells her a lot of sensitive information, such as the fact that he came across three witches who had prophesied that he would become king, this kind of information could put him - or both of them - in serious trouble, already in Shakespeare's time . kings were thought to be appointed directly by God, and trying to alter this would be a crime. This shows that Macbeth sees her as trustworthy and loyal. She responds to the information with a soliloquy in which she says "He is too full of the milk of human kindness" referring to his personality and mannerisms. The use of the word “milk” connotes goodness and purity, and above all the best of it. Later she responds to his prophecy of becoming king by suggesting that only bad and evil things can come from his accession to the throne. He says “Art not without ambition, but without disease should accompany it; what you would highly like. Which suggests that the idea of ​​him becoming king would have influenced and worried her from the beginning.

She licks him as soon as he comes, which creates a bond of trust and security, and gives a false sense of security to the king. In conclusion, after analyzing the contrasting presentations of Lady Macbeth I have shown how certain events had a huge influence on her character's mannerisms and mental state. Macbeth is the tragic hero; mostly good but, due to the weakness of his character towards his wife, he falls victim to an early death. At first Lady Macbeth is portrayed as so maliciously evil that we find it a real challenge to forgive her in the end..
