By the end of the scene she has persuaded him back again and the audience thinks that she is a stronger character than her husband. Lady Macbeth says "We'll not fail" which just dismisses the idea. Macbeth's biggest worry is about what will happen to them if they fail. She also says he does not love her if he does not carry out the murder. I think that she is right about him at this point. She uses a comparison to call him a coward but he tells her that he is a real man. She has strong ambitions to be Queen and uses different arguments to make sure that he does do what she wants him to do. Lady Macbeth makes sure that Macbeth will do exactly as she tells him.
