A Comparison of the BBC Shorts Production depicts Act 1 Scene 7 in their televised version of the play Macbeth by Shakespeare

For my English coursework on Macbeth, I am going to study how the BBC's Short Stories depicts Lady Macbeth in their production of the play. The section of the play that I am going to focus on is Act 1 Scene 7. This scene is all about Lady Macbeth persuading Macbeth, her husband, to murder Duncan. Louise Lombard (who plays Lady Macbeth) does not agree with the common opinion that Lady Macbeth is evil personified, but instead …

…that Macbeth is seeing the world from her eyes and that she can now begin to tell her plan to Macbeth. In the film Lady Macbeth is portrayed in a less violent way than in other productions of the play. I believe that they were too kind towards Lady Macbeth in this production. I believe in this production, she does not come across as harsh as she does in the actual play written by Shakespeare.
