MacBeth - Emotional Labour

“In the story of MacBeth, Lady Macbeth kills for her husband after he struggles with the emotional labour of the task. However, when she requires reassurance after he murder he is not there to provide it. In this illustration Lady MacBeth finds consolation with the 3 witches when she cannot find it with her husband. This reimagined scene portrays how women often have to find comfort in other women when the men in their lives are emotionally unavailable. ”
