Macbeth Essay Can Lady Macbeth be blamed for Macbeth’s killings? Can Hitler be blamed for the Holocaust? William Shakespeare must have thought of the most heinous person in history to have constructed Lady Macbeth in his play, Macbeth. In raw form, Lady Macbeth is the instigator of murder, the epitome of evil, and, ultimately, the insinuator of her own demise. From the beginning, Lady Macbeth was in favor of Duncan’s murder.

Ladies and gentleman of the jury, we were all just informed that Macbeth,a former loyal and honorable soldier is being charged with murder of King Duncan. There are also other suspects that Macbeth committed the murders of Banquo, Lady Macbeth, as well as Lady Macduff and her son. Macbeth never thought about becoming the king until him and his former friend Banquo ran into three witches one day. One witch said that Macbeth would be the Thane of Glamis, the second one said that he would become the Thane of Cawdor, and the last said that he would be the future King (1.3.49-51) . Why would Macbeth want to kill the ones he love dearly? If he did what was his motivation? Macbeth cannot be charged for any chargers that can not be proved.

The character who should be blamed for King Duncan’s death is Macbeth. Macbeth actually killed Duncan. No other character killed King Duncan (of course I know that having two murderers is impossible—improbable, Shakespeare could have written in two murderers, but it is fairly obvious that only one person, Macbeth, killed King Duncan— , but this is just in here to add “more detail and enrich this paragraph”). In our legal system, he would be punished because he was the one who commited the murder.

Macbeth's Murder of Duncan in William Shakespeare's Macbeth Various different influences act upon Macbeth causing him to murder Duncan. The main ones are his ambition, his wife and the witches.

In the original play of Macbeth, Macbeth only had second thoughts about Duncan's death in the beginning, after that there was no stopping him because there was no doubt in his mind that he wanted him dead. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth had come up with a very thorough and thought-out plan that was described in detail of how they would kill Duncan and what would happen. However, in the movie of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and Macbeth acted very differently when it came to taking Duncan’s life. They were both very unsure and hesitant of when and even if they should take Duncan’s life; they were given multiple opportunities for both of them to kill him, but they continued to wait for the perfect chance, which happened later than they had planned it to.

Early this morning at the castle of Inverness Sir Macduff arrived to wake the good King Duncan, where he was found stabbed and bloody in the bedroom he was sleeping in. The King's groomsmen were suspected, as they were found still asleep covered in blood, with their daggers still in hand. This enraged Macbeth so much that he killed the two. When Lady Macbeth heard the news she was so distraught that she fell unconscious, many people rushed to her side to see if she was okay, taking attention off of the Duncan murder. Meanwhile, Duncan's sons were fleeing to other countries, placing possible guilt upon them. So Macbeth was crowned king instead of the rightful heir Malcolm.

The tragedy of Macbeth included many deaths, but there was no given answer about who was held accountable for all the deaths. The killing of King Duncan was triggered by both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Even though both were involved, Lady Macbeth was most responsible for the killing of King Duncan because she is the more evil character, she manipulated her husband into doing it, and because she established the details of the plan to kill Duncan.
