How do I write a persuasive essay on Lady Macbeth's motivations?

To write a persuasive essay on Lady Macbeth's motivations in the play Macbeth, you will need to start with a thesis statement that clearly posits her motivation for taking part in the murder of Duncan. After you have developed a thesis statement, consider the points of argument that you will use to support your thesis statement. These points of argument will form the basis of the topic sentences in your essay. As you develop your argument in those body paragraphs, you will need to include relevant textual references (quotations) to support your points. And since you are writing a persuasive essay, you need to be mindful of including your perspective on Lady Macbeth's motivations so that you can convince the reader to adopt your perspective. For example, are Lady Macbeth's motivations in the play justified? As you pose your perspective, you can use persuasive techniques to convince the reader. Appeals to ethos, pathos, and logos are effective in persuasion.
