LOVE IS BLIND

When Lady Macbeth hears of the prophecy that Macbeth will become king, she is enthusiastic and wants to kill the king himself.  The audience sees Lady Macbeth as a power hungry individual, while Macbeth, blinded by his love for her thinks that she just wants the best for him, which she convinces him is to become king of Scotland.  The audience sees her planning the visit from the king, and worrying over Macbeth's possible lack of inner strength that he needs in order to murder the king and take the crown for himself with Lady Macbeth at his side.  Macbeth seems meek about confronting the wife whom he loves and standing up to her to say that he doesn't want to kill his cousin who has recently put all of this responsibility, trust, and honor on Macbeth's shoulders by giving him the title of the Thane of Cawdor.
