Love is Blind

Oh Lady Macbeth, what a character so far. Poor Macbeth is a little puppy around her. He wrote the letter to say, "Hey wife, please be proud. Look at what I know and what I am." Expecting a validating response, but got the psychopath one instead. He thinks that she's not too bad. He tries to stand up for himself but is completely degraded. They have a relationship that's not new so the actions and reactions they give ech other seem familiar. The audience gets that she's a crazy woman. She was talking about smashing the baby's head in for crying out loud. She is bloodthirsty for power and will stop at no cost. She is quick to decide and act. Lady Macbeth will be manipulative and not take no for an answer. 
Macbeth is already attached to her and has affection. He wants her approval. The audience is just seeing from point A to present and has no previous knowledge or thoughts about her so all of the things she says and does shape the reader's thoughts. There's no film fogging the truth up. She's craaaaazy
