Comparison Post

So, it struck me the other day how Lady Macbeth acts very similar to another character I knew and the discussion lead on Jesus' post also made me think of this I thought I should bring up. Did it occur to any of you the Lady Macbeth and Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing seem very similar in some way. Not fully as both characters have completely different motives and more likely get different results towards the end of their stories. What do you guys think, could they be in any way similar or are they completely different and shouldn't even be compared? (By the way, sorry for typos and incorrect grammar usage in advance! )

    Now that you mention it I do see somewhat of a resemblance. As both Beatrice and Lady Macbeth are unhappy to be women and would rather do things for themselves. They also both "manipulate" men into doing things for them, however Benedict is a lot more reluctant than Macbeth.

    I see what you mean . They both manipulated men in their lives. They both wanted something that was not theirs in the first place.

    Now that you bring it up, I do see it. I agree with Julia and Guadalupe both characters are manipulative and dissatisfied with their gender.

    Even though I agree with your guys, I still love the charachter that Shakespeare has created with Lady Macbeth , she is so powerful and like you guys said manipulating,
