Emotional blackmail is used in the majority of these texts, it is used to demonstrate how the other characters can be manipulated and persuaded by others through making them feel guilty. His Coy Mistress and Shakespeare Macbeth depict romantic love in ways that are almost exact opposites In To His Coy Mistress, the narrator's impatience threatens to rob the relationship of any sense of romance as he tries to persuade his mistress into his bed with emotional blackmail, this is used by the narrator when he says "Worms shall take that long preserved virginity" the narrator uses this to make the mistress feel un-sympathised. It is also used in the play Macbeth by Lady Macbeth as she goes on to question Macbeth's manhood when she challenges him mentally and says " When you durst do it, then you were a man" she is beginning to tamper with his male persona and make him feel less manly. This is what happens in the play and to His Coy Mistress, as they feel less manly more Emotional blackmail is used.
