Lady Macbeth Research Paper

Lady Macbeth is more evil than her husband and is blamed more with the things she did. She is responsible more of the blame in the King Duncan's murder than her husband is.

One of the reasons I believe that Macbeth is a tragic hero is because he is of noble stature. This is true because he is a military general and the Thane of Glamis. If you are a military general you are a high rank and usually highly respected and have a large amount of responsibility. He is also a thane, which is someone who owns a large amount of land that is usually granted by the king. Thanes are also usually leaders of clans who are in control over a large amount of people.

were at and how they were living. They didn’t start to change until after the witches

Reading the story of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth takes control and understands his state of mind. Lady Macbeth could not understand how Macbeth could fail, as he brings the daggers back with him. She had a plan, and prepared for the murder as well as set the daggers by the guards herself. She claimed that she would have killed the king herself, yet Lady Macbeth also states, "Had he not resembled My father as he slept, I had done 't." Lady Macbeth refuses to commit this murder being that she sees a resemblance between King Duncan and her father, which causes her to not be able to do the killing of Duncan.

She then went on to explain the plan to her husband and Macbeth was beside himself on what to do. He felt as if there was no reason to kill a king, who was nothing but good to him. His wife used the guilt and anxiety he felt to her advantage to make him feel like less of a man. Lady Macbeth said that she would murder her own newborn if that’s what she promised Macbeth to do. She persuaded him to think that he broke a promise made to her meanwhile she originally came up with the plan.

Similar to Lady Macbeth, Macbeth is presented in a deceptive manner, first appearing to be a hero, but eventually deteriorating into something else. His formidable contributions on the battlefield are overshadowed by his lust for power, which leads him into killing Duncan so he that he can take the throne. Indeed, it is the witches who plant the thought of becoming king inside of Macbeth’s head, but it is Macbeth who immediately “yields to the suggestion” (1.3.146) of murdering, which despite “make[s] [his] seated heart knock at [his] ribs (1.3.148), is a thought that he completely created on his own. The witches spoke nothing of murder, showing that even without being deceived, Macbeth has a dark mind. And although Lady Macbeth convinces him to go through with the plan, all of the other dark deeds he commits are formed based on his own thoughts, not those of others, showing that he is capable of deceiving without needing help from others.

As being the dominated one in their relationship Lady Macbeth uses all her control over Macbeth to make Macbeth murder king Duncan. She also challenges his patriarchy to make him murder the King. For example, when Lady Macbeth says "When you durst do it, then you were a man." Now that Macbeth is trying to back out of it, Lady Macbeth is calling him a coward and torments him to do the murdering. She also says " Wouldst thou have that which thou esteem'st the ornament of life and live a coward in thine own esteem..." In other words, Lady Macbeth uses the power of love to persuade him. She also says if you love me you would kill him straight away with no hesitation. Lady Macbeth says "I have given suck and know how tender ‘tis to love the babe that milks me: I would, while it was smiling in my face, have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums and dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you have done to this." In this quotation Lady Macbeth stirs Macbeth even more when Lady Macbeth challenges their love relationship on the basis of the decision, he eventually gives in and murders King Duncan.

Lady Macbeth provides a scheme for Macbeth to assassinate the King. She is manipulative and persuasive in corrupting Macbeth s judgement. “What beast was’t then that you break this enterprise to me? When you durst do it, then you were a man; And to be more than what you were, you would be so much more the man.” (Act I. Sc.VII) In this quote, Lady Macbeth is agitating Macbeth by saying he is not a man if he does not do what he says he is going to do, which is to murder the king of course.

“Does unmake you. I have given suck, and know / How tender’ tis to love the babe that milks me. / I would, while it was smiling in my face, / Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums / and dashed the brains out, had I sworn as you / have done to this.” (1.7.55 – 60) This quote shows that if Lady Macbeth even had to kill her own baby she would. How cruel can a woman get then that? On the other hand, Macbeth was hesitant and didn’t want to go through the plan, but Lady Macbeth had no problem at all going through with the plan. “We will proceed no further in this business. / He hath honored me of late, and I Have bought / Golden opinions from all sorts of people, / Which would be worn now in their newest gloss, / Not cast aside so soon.” (1.7. 31 – 35) Macbeth was just honored by king Duncan and felt great about and wanted that feeling to last and didn’t want to do anything that would prevent it from lasting as long as it could. This also shows that from the beginning of the play Macbeth never wanted to do this, but the influence of lady Macbeth changes and kind of forced him into continuing with the plan by killing king

In William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and the three Weird Sisters control the play’s events. Lady Macbeth and the sisters display various similarities that have them collectively working in controlling the main character, Macbeth. The three weird sisters, referred to as the witches, provide the prophecies that trigger Macbeths purpose. On the other hand, Lady Macbeth utilizes her manipulative strategies that convinces Macbeth to fulfill the prophecies even if it ends in a bloody murder. The three weird sisters and Lady Macbeth use their powerful influence over Macbeth, paving the path towards his tragic downfall.

The power that women have on men is unbelievable. So much so that if the woman that a man loves tells him to kill someone, he will most likely do just that, if the love is deep enough. That is why in Shakespeare’s: The tragedy of Macbeth, his wife, Lady Macbeth, had the most power over him. Because the main character, Macbeth, killed people just because lady Macbeth put that thought in his head. He loved her so much that he would do anything for her.

Lady Macbeth continues to convince and persuade Macbeth into thinking her plan will pay off. Eventually Macbeth decides against the murder of his king but Lady Macbeth shames him for not being able to murder, threatening to take away her love from him if he does not. This threat shocks Macbeth into saying “yes”. Lady Macbeth outlines her plan to kill King Duncan while asleep as a guest in their castle.

After analyzing the play, The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare readers came to the conclusion that The Witches were most responsible for the events that happened in Macbeth. Readers found that without the actions the witches took, nothing would have happened and the characters would still have the good life they had before they appeared. The reasons why readers believe The Witches hold primary responsibility for the events in Macbeth is because they have paranormal powers and The witches equivocate to Macbeth.

The topic of whether Lady Macbeth should be considered as the third witch is a complex one with no definite answer but is open to interpretation. However, diving deeper into the problem one lacks any evidence to support the claim that she could be the fourth witch. We are first introduced to Lady Macbeth as she has just received a letter from Macbeth telling her of the encounter that he had with the witches and of the prophecies that they told Macbeth of. The first hint that Lady macbeth could be a witch comes when she states, “Come, you spirits that tend on the mortal thoughts. unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe top-full of direst cruelty”.
