In the play, Lady Macbeth is more aggressive, insightful, and reactive than Lady Macduff. Lady Macbeth looks at a situation and a person and analyzes their strengths and their weaknesses. Then she comes up with a winning strategy. Readers and viewers see this in Act 1 Scene 5. The Lady sees the possibility of crowns for her and her husband, identifies the kind streak that her husband has and that she lacks, and goes straight for the jugular in calling up the evil spirits to bring her ambitions to success. In contrast, in Act 4 Scene 3, Lady Macduff shows herself more passive, naive and reflective. She gets caught up in her husband's flight, in terms of how that impacts on her personally. She doesn't seem to know her husband wel, because she sees his departure as a personal betrayal. And yet the entire kingdom is falling to pieces around them all! She doesn't think of the consequences to the safety of her or her household. In fact, she doesn't pay attention to the messenger's warning of imminent danger.
