Use the excerpts from Macbeth to complete the following task: Write an essay of at least three paragraphs, supporting the assertion that Lady Macbeth and Macbeth both waver between extreme confidence and great doubt. Be sure to include evidence from the text to support your answer. Remember to clearly state your main point and use correct citation in your response.

1. Lady Macbeth:

She is a very confident woman, which is obvious from the way she thinks and fights for her husband. She is very ambitious and wants Macbeth to have a more prominent role in the kingdom. At times, she curses his lack of ambition and confidence and wishes she was a man so that she could do all of these things on her own instead of relying on her husband.

On the other hand, when she and Macbeth commit their first murder of Duncan, she loses that confidence and starts not only doubting herself and their cause, but also feeling great guilt that drives her to madness.

2. Macbeth:

On the other hand, Macbeth initially lacks confidence and ambition. He relies on his wife to tell him what to do and how to fight for what he (or rather she) wants.

However, as time goes by, he becomes more and more confident, especially after the prophecy from the witches and the killing of Duncan. After his first murder, he cannot seem to stop and is driven by crazy ambition, which results in everyone's death.

    i got this from a website called shmoop. i will give you a link and i will show you half of it. hope it : )

explanation:

mrs. mallard has a heart condition, which means that if she's startled she could die. so, when news comes that her husband's been killed in an accident, the people who tell her have to cushion the blow.

mrs. mallard's sister josephine sits down with her and dances around the truth until mrs. mallard finally understands what happened. the deceased mr. mallard's friend, richards, hangs out with them for moral support.

richards originally found out because he had been in the newspaper headquarters when a report of the accident that killed mr. mallard, which happened on a train, came through. richards waited for proof from a second source before going to the mallards' to share the news.

when mrs. mallard finds out what happened she acts differently from most women in the same position, who might disbelieve it. she cries passionately before deciding to go to her room to be by herself.

in her room, mrs. mallard sits down on a comfy chair and feels completely depleted. she looks out the window and looks out at a world that seems alive and fresh. she can see the sky coming between the rain clouds.

mrs. mallard sits still, occasionally crying briefly like a kid might.

the narrator describes her as youthful and pretty, but because of this news she looks preoccupied and absent.

she seems to be holding out for some kind of unknown news or knowledge, which she can tell is approaching.

mrs. mallard breathes heavily and tries to resist before succumbing to this unknown thing, which is a feeling of freedom.

acknowledging freedom makes her revive, and she doesn't consider whether she should feel bad about it.

mrs. mallard thinks to herself about how she'll cry when she sees her husband's dead body and how much he loved her. even so, she's kind of excited about the chance to make her own decisions and not feel accountable to anyone.

mrs. mallard feels even more swept up by the idea of freedom than the fact that she had felt love for her husband.
