LRJ #2 for Macbeth Act 2.

Macbeth and his wife Lady Macbeth are different attributes,  Macbeth is the king he's strong but underneath he acts like a child. There are positive and negative attributes that he has, the positive is that when he sets his mind to it he will do it, and he has the prophecy in which he can believe in. He also has the ability to be a ruler and he is a great ruler. But he has more negative attributes than his good. When he murdered Duncan he didn't have a bad feeling, but until he came out with the daggers he started freaking out and trying to repent on his actions "Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather multitudinous seas incarnadine, Making the green one red." (2.2.64-67), Macbeth has a great repent that he said that the blood that he has will never wash off not even in the great waters of Neptune, so he will have that on his conscious. Another bad attribute is that when he blacks out and just starts rambling he could reveal what he has done, with out knowing it "Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage make's love known?" (2.3.118-119) Macbeth could have easily  told everyone that he killed Duncan, so instead Lady Macbeth fainted to not let Macbeth continue with his preaching.  

Lady Macbeth also has positive and negative attributes, she is a beautiful person but then again she is a very determined lady who once she says something that is what she is going to do. The positives are that she can act very well in the time of need, like when she fainted to get the attention away from Macbeth. She also is a great wife to Macbeth, she wanted to comfort him when he was going crazy. The negatives. She could be more of a man than her husband, so the prophecy might change that she would be the queen, because she actually has the courage to go do what needs to be done, “My hands are of your color but I shame To wear a heart so white.” (2.2.68-69) she meant that she just committed the same crime that Macbeth did but she didn't hold herself against anything.

One image pattern that is used is the blood that is figured trough out the whole act, in which the killing of Duncan help explain, it is important because it shows how much in detail Shakespeare can get with his writing. “Go get some water And wash this fitly witness from you hand” (2.2.50-51) in this quote Lady Macbeth is telling Macbeth to wash the blood off his hands because it is a sigh that he murdered someone so it will expose him.
