Lady Macbeth

What I found most interesting as Lady Macbeth is that she keeps prodding her husband to “be a man”. In some ways, Lady Macbeth seems to be having so much more courage than her husband. However, we see that Lady Macbeth probably would not have been able to murder King Duncan herself, as she mentions how he looks too much like her father. I just thought it was humorous how she keeps telling Macbeth to be a man. It just brings me to question the roles that each of them are playing and how much influence Lady Macbeth has over her husband. For some reason I feel as if she really doesn’t have the influence over her husband. She also lacks the mental capability to keep living after murdering the King. Also, if Macbeth and Lady Macbeth switched genders, would the murder and ascendancy to the throne been ever more possible? And, who really is wearing the pants?
