Lady Macbeth Appreciation Post






Look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under it.
--Lady Macbeth, Act I, scene v







Lady Macbeth could quite possibly be my favorite character in any of Shakespeare's plays.  

Why?  She is completely badass.  Manipulative?  Yes.  Insane?  Yes.  Ruthless?  Yes.  But I can appreciate that she gets what she ultimately wants... and that she basically calls Macbeth out constantly when he starts to doubt himself.  I respect her.
