In Act 1, Scene 7 of Shakespeare's "Macbeth," Lady Macbeth expresses her desire for her husband to only father male children. She believes that men are seen as stronger and more capable of ruling than women, and she wants her husband to only produce sons who can inherit power and continue their legacy. This line reflects the gender norms and expectations of the time, where male heirs were often preferred over female ones for succession and power.

How is a character in a story multidimensional?

When critics talk of a character being 'one-dimensional' they usually mean that he has no backstory. When Macduff (in Macbeth) says of Macbeth "He has no children" you realise that Macduff and Macbeth both have lives outside the play. (Macduff is a family man, Macbeth is not). Almost all the characters in Shakespeare give hints that they have a life outside the play - they are multidimensional.
