In the play "Macbeth", who is Macbeth's wife?

  1. Lady Macduff

  2. Lady Macbeth

  3. The Witch

  4. Lady Montgomery

The correct answer is: Lady Macbeth

In the play "Macbeth", Macbeth's wife is famously known as Lady Macbeth. She plays a crucial role in the play as she is the one who persuades Macbeth to murder King Duncan in order to fulfill the witches' prophecy. Lady Macbeth is a complex character who eventually becomes consumed by guilt and ultimately takes her own life. Therefore, the other options are incorrect as they do not accurately represent Macbeth's wife in the play. Lady Macduff is the wife of Macduff and does not have a significant role in Macbeth's story. The Witch is a group of supernatural beings who manipulate Macbeth's actions, but are not his wife. Lady Montgomery is not a character in the play "Macbeth".
