Lady Macbeth

In act two we get a much deeper look at Lady Macbeth and I find her character very intriguing. In act two scene two Macbeth is completely overwhelmed with guilt but she seems almost unfazed. To me it seems like the two are absolute opposites. Macbeth claims that no water can wash the blood off his hands while Lady Macbeth states that "A little water clears us of the deed/ How easy it is then!" (Act II, Scene II: Lines 86,87) One of Lady Macbeths thoughts that really stood out to me were lines 82-83 of this same scene, she says "My hands are of your color, but I shame/ to wear a heart so white." Her response to the events that have just transpired, due strongly to her influence, is undeniably unique. Lady Macbeth is definitely a very strong and interesting character especially when paired with Macbeth himself.
