Macbeth, Shakespeare's cursed play that brings grave misfortunes to those who utter its name; truly is a revolutionary piece of literature that forever changed the way we argue and debate about certain topics. One such argument that is open for interpretation in the play Macbeth is at the instance where Macbeth decides not to go through with his plans of regicide in Act I, scene vii. He dismisses his notions of gaining absolute power, all be it after having a heavy clash of viewpoints in his own mind. After announcing his new judgement upon the particular situation to Lady Macbeth he is barraged by insults and persuasive rhetoric. At that moment in the play Lady Macbeth takes charge of the whole plot of Duncan's murder. Lady Macbeth is almost injected with venom as she would have "dash'd the brains out" of the "babe that milks" her. Single-handedly she reverses the entire direction the play was moving towards. Although Lady Macbeth at that time did "realign the stars" arguably she was not in entirety herself. Conversely still, the "supernatural soliciting" that Macbeth had obsessed over, spread through Macbeth's and Lady Macbeth's mind like the Ebola virus. It engulfed their minds and proved once again that "Absolute power corrupts absolutely!" Lady Macbeth presented Macbeth with a challenge of being a man and finishing what he had started. Macbeth did what any man would do; (once his masculinity was in question) he "dare do all that may become a man." Lady Macbeth simply accelerated the inevitable; she did what she thought was necessary to rid her husband "of the milk of human kindness."
