Detailed explanation-1: -Lady Macbeth receives a letter from Macbeth about the witches’ prophecies and his new title.

Detailed explanation-2: -Act 1, scene 5 Lady Macbeth reads her husband’s letter about his meeting the witches.

When she learns that Duncan is coming to visit, she calls upon supernatural agents to fill her with cruelty.
Detailed explanation-3: -After Lady Macbeth reads the letter, what does she tell us is her opinion of Macbeth, and how does she plan to help him?

Detailed explanation-4: -As a result of the knowledge of the prophecy, Lady Macbeth is portrayed as a manipulative character.

Yet I do fear thy nature”.
