How does lady macbeth cover for macbeth at the banquet?
I would say that Lady Macbeth is the most abitious out of the two.This is simple because the play is based around masculinity and In Lady Macbethsmonologue she says the words "unsex me here" and "Take my milk for gall"If we also look at the play in the moments before Duncan is killed, Macbeth has feelings that he shouldn't go through with what he is told to, but who else is there but Lady Macbeth to force him to see it through.In short, as soon as Lady Macbeth finds out what Macbeth is prophesized to become she really does start to pressure him into "Becoming a man" and fufilling what has been foretold.I hope this helped :)
Lady Macbeth is often portrayed as a fourth witch.

One example of indirect characterization in "Macbeth" is when Lady Macbeth says, "Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it." This quote reveals Lady Macbeth's cunning and manipulative nature. Another example is when Macbeth says, "I am in blood, stepped in so far that should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o'er." This quote shows Macbeth's guilt and the point of no return he has reached in his ruthless ambition.
