The statement that love is blind is a very accurate description of someone who is in love. Macbeth loves his wife and sees her through rose colored glasses. However, unlike Macbeth we see her for who she truly is. The audience sees her plotting and scheming and although Macbeth knows her personality he refuses to see it because its not what he wants to see. Much like in our own lives we only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe because the idea that something doesn't fit into our perfect worlds would be unbearable. The difference between Macbeth and the audiences’ views of Lady Macbeth is that Macbeth is emotionally invested in her while the audience is just watching a play and coming to their own conclusions on things.
