About This Quote

I'd rather love you at the bottom than despise you at the top. In this quote from Shakespeare, Lady Macbeth expresses her lack of trust in her husband Duncan. She is afraid that he will turn on her, even when he has done nothing to indicate that he is capable of doing so. She is not only fearful of the possibility of his betrayal; she also fears that he could fail her once she has served him by murdering King Duncan. When Lady Macbeth says "I'd rather love you at the bottom than despise you at the top," she is expressing an uncertainty about whether she can trust Duncan's commitment to her.
