Note
A. Shakespeare always wrote wrote characters to reflect the real world
B.Thats why I tagged it bc u didn't want to get in a whole fight, I was adding an example that women do have power anecdotally
C.Act 2 scene 3 she fakes being sad at the kings death, and in the live play the actors often pretend to weep
What about macbeth
Lady Macbeth uses every trick in the book to manipulate macbeth into doing what she wants, fake crying, using sex and sex appeal as a motivator, I can go on. She has power over Macbeth using things that are uniquely female and the story presents it as such.
