In act III Shakespeare changes two characters completely around. As the number of murders increase Macbeth becomes much less disturbed by death, and appears to feel less guilt. Lady Macbeth, playing the role of the foil character, becomes much more troubled by the deaths. Earlier in the play Lady Macbeth wishes she was more manly so she could murder, and manipulates Macbeth to kill by questioning his manhood. By act III Lady Macbeth changes, becoming as she might describe "more feminine", as her husband becomes "more masculine". The change of roles also changes the perception of Macbeth, who now seems like a villain instead of a hero, especially when he hires people to kill Banquo, who is a friend of his.
I agree with what you said throughout this post. I like your analysis of how Macbeth and Lady Macbeth swapped roles during this play. The grammar was questionable because of run-on sentences and spelling. But, overall good job
