Toxic Ambition: Lady Macbeth's Manipulation

Lady Macbeth is the ultimate toxic partner. When three witches predict her husband

will be king, Macbeth gets ambitious but hesitates to kill for the crown. So,

Lady Macbeth steps in. She tells him to look like an innocent flower but be the

snake hiding underneath. She completely shreds his confidence, calling him a coward and questioning

his manhood until he caves. She claims she’d rather murder her own child than break

a promise, all to manipulate him into killing the king. They thought murder

was a shortcut to power, but it was just the first step toward their own epic downfall.
