Here are the traits of Lady Macbeth from Act 1 to 2
1. Cunning and Deceptive
Lady Macbeth is very cunning. She was able to get the throne by persuading her husband, Macbeth to murder King Duncan. She was able to find a fool-proof way to make sure that she or her husband will not be considered suspects. She had welcome King Duncan to her home. This happened around Act 1 lines 14-18
2. Strong Personality
Unlike her husband, Lady Macbeth possesses a very strong character. She is very smart; she was able to persuade people to do things for her without exerting much. In the lines 69-79 in act I, she was able to persuade Macbeth to look at their goals and not think of the consequences
3. She is resolute and ambitious
From the lines in Act scene 7, she was able to get what she wished for. Though her husband was afraid, Lady Macbeth had made understand that if they get to kill Duncan, they will become the monarch who will rule after Duncan.
4. Calm and Collected
In the scenes in Act II. Scene i. 116-119, she remains calm after Duncan was reported to have been killed. I believe that throughout the play, Lady Macbeth had been her husband’s anchor especially when he started seeing the ghost of Banquo and Duncan.
5. Her love for her Husband
Throughout the play, Lady Macbeth wanted the throne for her husband and not for herself. She wanted him to be king and powerful. She didn’t wish it for herself. This was cited in Act I. scene v. 67, 68
