Essay / Comparison of Sheila and Lady Macbeth's relationship with...
Comparison of Sheila and Lady MacbethIn this essay, I will compare Sheila and Lady Macbeth's relationship with their husbands. At the beginning of the play, Sheila and Gerald knew each other. the other for a while, and here they are celebrating their engagement which Sheila is really happy about, in the middle she starts gaining power and at the end she is fully in power and telling her family what to do. Gerald comes from a rich, powerful and well-respected family. At the beginning of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is in control of the relationship, she begins as the man in the relationship with typical Jacobean women, then she commits suicide and commits suicide at the end. At the beginning of the play "An Inspector's Call", JB Priestly presents Sheila and Gerald with an unbalanced relationship, as Gerald sees himself as the dominant one and controls the relationship, while Sheila is naive and quite immature for her age. Gerald chose and bought Sheila's engagement ring, this shows that Gerald is dominant, showing his authority and Sheila has nothing to say about it, "is this the one you want me to have". This shows us her desire to be controlled by Gerald, this ties into how their relationship is unbalanced as Gerald has more power and is in charge. We can also see this when Sheila says "...all last summer, when you never came near me, and I wondered what happened to you." Even though she says it half-seriously, half-playfully, it's clear that she thinks Gerald is up to something, but she reacts in any way about it. This again shows her naivety about the relationship and shows that she is allowing herself to be controlled by Gerald. Even though Gerald dominates her and Mr. Birling pushes her relationship with Gerald, ...... middle of paper ...... their relationship. Indeed, in the end, both Sheila and Lady Macbeth end their relationship with their partners. But the main difference is that Lady Macbeth commits suicide while Sheila still lives, with or without Gerald. In conclusion, I think they won't get back together, even if the Birlings try to persuade Sheila, because she has changed so much over the course of the story. play and can stand up to his family. Sheila emphasizes that they should not continue to behave as if nothing had happened and that they should learn from their experience. I think she might forget about Gerald because of what she learned about him and the things he did. And for Lady Macbeth, the relationship is over and at the very end, Macbeth is also beheaded.
