Macbeth and Lady Macbeth
Lady Macbeth and Macbeths relationship changed drastically over the series of events in the book. In the beginning they worked together as a team. After Macbeth killed King Duncan and Banquo their relationship grew further and further apart because of the stress that they were both put under. Macbeth started to feel guilty about what he had done right away, but Lady Macbeth didnt until it really started to effect Macbeth. Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are both fearing for their lives, now after everyone is starting to get suspicious of their killings.
