Throughout the play of Macbeth,it is shown how different female characters manipulate their spouse,or other male characters. Some of the men in this play are met with the struggle to kill, or not to kill. To have your manhood or to not have it at all. How will Macbeth handle falling under the embarrassment of his Lady,and what will he do? In Macbeth, Shakespeare displays how women manipulate men.
In Act 1,Scene 5, Lady Macbeth says “What thou art promised; yet do I fear thy nature;/ It is too full o'th milk of human kindness/ To catch the nearest way”. In this quote Lady Macbeth is basically saying that Macbeth is weak and isn't strong enough to do the task,that need to be done. Which is killing King Duncan,and taking his crown. She is very selfish,and doesn't care about the consequences of what her, and her husband are about to do. Lady Macbeth also says beforehand, that she knows she is going to have to convince her husband, in order for Duncan to be killed off,and her and him get the crown.
In the book Wuthering Heights, it is also

shown how manipulative women can be. In this story Nelly is the manipulator. "Inquiries were made as to how it got there; I was obliged to confess, and in recompense for my cowardice and inhumanity was sent out of the house" and she continues to say, "Hindley hated him, and to say the truth I did the same" This basically tells us that she didn't care about Heathcliff,even as a child. Women in these dramas are found to be very cold hearted,even turning away a child or even to maybe kill their own child,or others. Women are portrayed as cruel and heartless creatures.
Lady Macbeth also refers to her man as “weak enough to be swayed”, here she is referring to him as weak enough to be convinced to kill. Throughout the play there are many different ways that Lady Macbeth hints that he husband is a coward. “Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower,/ But be the serpent under't.” here in this quote Lady Macbeth is suggesting that soon her coward of a husband will not be able to look so innocent for long. She is in putting that she thinks he is too much of a coward to hold on to the innocent look and he is too weak,to make people think that it wasn't him.
However, Nelly isn't the only lady in the novel to have been a manipulator.

Catherine manipulates,her own self even. Who does she really love,and want to be with? “My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, I’m well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He’s always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.” Cathy is also referring to herself as Heathcliff,basically stating that she knows him and loves him as well as she does herself. Catherine may have been in love with Linton but she feels like that's going to change. Her love for Heathcliff maybe too strong and she does want to be with Linton. He has only manipulated herself. Yes, as such wondrous creatures, women even manipulate themselves

sometimes.
