Discuss how you, as a director, would stage a scene in Macbeth in order to convey the theme of manipulation. Discuss how you, as a director, would...

Perhaps
staging the scene of Lady 's manipulation of her husband as she asks him to dig deep for his
courage could visiualize the  of her speech:

But screw
your courage to the sticking-place,
And we'll not fail. Whenis asleep

Whereto the rather shall his day's hard journey
Soundly invite himhis two
chamberlains
Will I with wine and wassail so convince,
That memory, the
warder of the brain,
Shall be a fume and the receipt of reason
A limbec
only. When in swinish sleep
Their drenched natures lie as in a death,
What
cannot you and I perform upon
The unguarded Duncan? What not put upon
His
spongy officers, who shall bear the guilt
Of our great quell?(1.7.68-80)


There are the visual images of smoke and blood and death in these
lines that could be suggested with lighting and mists in the background as Ladyspeaks. 
Certainly, appropriate music would suggest the sinister and unnaturalness of the acts to be
committed.
