//How does Lady Macbeth persuade Macbeth to kill King Puncan?//

At this moment in the play, Lady Macbeth tries to persuade her husband Macbeth to murder King Puncun. She must persuade him to do so, so he may be King as a result, Lady Macbeth uses a number of rhetorical techniques to convince him.

Firstly, in the play Macbeth, Lady uses an increased amount of personal anecdotes to persuade Macbeth. “I have suckled a baby, and I know how sweet it is to love the baby at my breast. But even as the baby was smiling up at me, I would have plucked my nipple out of its mouth and smashed its brains out against a wall if I had sworn to do that the same way you have sworn to do this.” Presenting a personal anecdote whilst trying to persuade someone, evokes certain emotion, showing what the person has done or what they could have done to kill the King. It lets them accept what they “**should**” have done.

Secondly, again the 2nd person pronoun is used excessively in this play. “When you durst do it, then you were a man.” The pronoun “you” is quite powerful as it puts the problems on **you,** it creates a thought of what the problem is and why he //hasn’t killed the king//.

And finally, the use of rhetorical questions is cast-off a lot in this text. “Were you drunk when you seemed so hopeful before?” It gains significant attention of the audience and lets them contemplate their wrong doings and admit them.

In conclusion, Lady Macbeth uses a number of persuasive and rhetorical techniques to influence Macbeth. She sees to be successful and persuades Macbeth to assassinate the leader to become King.
