The extract begins by Desdemona mentioning the 'song of the willow' and that she will 'sing it like poor Barbary(her mother's maid)'. This reflects her inner emotions of hurt and betrayal, similar to Barbary's, who had been forsaken by her lover. To sing the song somehow indicates her realisation that their relationship is at the brink of a terrible split, and there is a sense of hopelessness about the situation. As traditional women do, Desdemona weeps at her misfortune but does nothing to change it, reflecting the typical passivity of grief and despair so often portrayed by jilted women in the past. Marriage has apparently softened Desdemona, diminishing what spirit she had earlier in the play, the spirit that made her a rebel, she agreed to a secret marriage and went against the patriarchy, which is hardly the image of a 'proper' woman.
The reader can defiantly tell she did not want to marry Tom; we can also go deeper into the novel and notice the note and begin to assume she loved Gatsby by the way she clutched the letter while in tears. This absolutely detracts from her innocent character Fitzgerald has positioned her as. The reader can again see another side of Mrs. Buchanan when her daughter Pammy is introduced in the novel. Daisy

It causes him to question why he ever loved his ex-lover.
“This have I thought good to deliver thee, my dearest partner of greatness”. Lady Macbeth’s first appearance in the play is when she is shown reading the letter that her husband has written to her about meeting the three witches: “Glamis thou art, and Cawdor and shalt be”“What thou art promised.”Lady Macbeth however knows the attitude of her husband and what he’s like and she knows that if her husband wants something, he’ll want to achieve it in the fairest way possible. She laughs at what she considers his weakness:”yet I do fear thy nature, it is full o’ the milk of human kindness” Lady Macbeth feels she must find the confidence to persuade Macbeth to leave his soft side which prevents him from seizing the crown. Throughout the first act Lady Macbeth seems the stronger partner in the relationship and she calls out supernatural powers and calls for “spirits” more powerful than her own. “Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts.” She tells him to hurry home so that she can poison his mind.
Simultaneously she acts loyal to her husband by stating 'its my wedding ring, I never take it off.' Meg makes this layered remark to avoid creating unwanted rumours and gossip, but her face and slight smile reveals that she is intrigued and flirting with Darlington. In Wilde’s play, Lady Windermere doesn't enjoy Darlington’s obvious infatuation and tries to stop his constant compliments. Lady Windermere's strong Puritan values contrast Meg encouraging sexual tension between the two social elites. In Meg and her mothers first meeting, Mrs Erlynne is wearing the dress.
So why then does their relationship disintegrate through the play so thoroughly that Macbeth doesn’t even care when she dies? This essay will look at, and account for the extreme changes in their relationship from beginning to end. In Act 1 scene 5, she is the only one Macbeth feels he can confide in about the witch’s prophecies. He writes a letter to her straight away informing her of the news, while hiding his thoughts from his best friend and comrade Banquo. In the letter he affectionately calls her his “ dearest partner in greatness” and it is clear that he wishes her to share in his success.
