The crucial part. Without Lady Macbeth, this would have been Macbeth's final decision: "We will proceed no further in this business." Macbeth would never have killed Duncan unless Lady Macbeth had goaded him into it.

∙ 6y agoHer part is decisive. If you read or watch Act 1 Scene 7 you will know that Macbeth, left on his own, decided not to commit the murder. He says "We shall proceed no further in this business." Lady Macbeth then proceeds to change his mind, at least for long enough that the deed gets done. She appeals to his irrational emotions, when his decision not to commit the murder was based on reason and logic, as shown in Macbeth's speech, "If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly."

Who was Macbeths wife?
I think it's fair to say that he did love his wife but prior to the murders, their relationship may have been strained. In a scene, lady Macbeth is talking about how she would keep promises. She mentions that she would kill their own child if she promised to do so. This suggests that they did have a child who has died. Obviously, this would strain any relationship. Also, after the murders, they don't communicate like they used to, Lady Macbeth's conscience is taking over and Macbeth is too preoccupied with the fact that he is under threat and trying to kill people who pose a threat. Thus, causing strains on their relationship.

Lady Macbeth knows that Macbeth is a good man, a worthy, noble, good soldier. But she feels that he is too full of the 'milk of human kindness' (i know its meant to be a good thing, but the is the most eviliest woman in English literature we are talking about) , when it comes to killing the king. She questions his manliness, saying she is more of a man than he is. This is how she manages to convince Macbeth to kill Duncan(the king).
