Lady Macbeth (Key Points and Context)

To all who are studying Macbeth,

I believe this is what you may need. I may be doing more of these - depending on whether you all want more or appreciates them.

So this is about Lady Macbeth, personally one of my favourite fictional characters I have actually read about.

And here it is!

Enjoy it and I hope I have helped you.

If there is anything more to add, I will do my best to do so.

Sincerely, Me.
