How does Lady Macbeth ignite her partner's thought process?Macbeth by William Shakespeare

One of Shakespeare's most frightening female characters,
Lady Macbeth is manipulative and heartless in her ambition.  She stirs her husband to
action and to confidence as she ignites his power of fantasy which leads to what Harold
Bloom terms "a tragedy of the imagination." Bloom goes on to say that Macbeth has a
"proleptic imagination" of which he is scarcely conscious of an ambition or desire
before he see himself as having already performed the crime.  It is Lady Macbeth who
precipitates this perception of Macbeth.

• In the
  first act, Lady Macbeth promises to help him with the fulfillment of the prophesies of
  the witches,

...Hie thee
hither,

That I may pour my spirits in thine
ear,

And chastise with the valor of my
tongue

All that impedes thee from the golden
round

Which fate and metaphysical aid doth
seem

To have thee crowned withal.
(1.5.25-30)

• She
  challenges Macbeth's manhood in order to spur him to murdering King
  Duncan:

                  What beast was 't
then

That made you break this enterprise to
Me?

When you durst do it, then you were a
man;

And to be more than what you were, you
would

Be so much more the man...
(1.7.54-58)

Later, in Act III
when Macbeth sees the ghost of Banquo, Lady Macbeth spurs his thoughts with her
challenge to him "Are you a man?" (3.4.59)

• She
  directs the time and method of Duncan's murder


• She
  assures him  that he has no cause for fear after the murder, telling Macbeth, "A little
  water clears us of this deed" (2.2.85) 


• When,
  ironically, Lady Macbeth herself becomes consumed with guilt over their acts, her
  psychic decline affects Macbeth


• After Lady Macbeth
  commits suicide, leaving Macbeth to feel that he is set in a "cosmological emptiness,"
  she ignites his thoughts so that instead of an elegy for Queen Macbeth, he speaks of a
  nihilistic death march, a strutting of fools in a universe of
  victims.
