William Shakespeare 's ' Macbeth '

Every relationship has a degree of a power struggle. Ambition is a powerful motive that causes people to lose sight of their morality in order to fulfil their destiny. Shakespeare's Macbeth illustrates one of the most famous relationships in history and how the force of evil can affect human nature and even cause lovers to overpower one another. The marriage between the Macbeths shows a great contrast on ones ambition alone and ones ambition being solely driven by the force of evil.

by this, Lady Macbeth expresses her belief that her husband is not of evil nature, and therefore will not to murder the king (I, v, 25-30). More ruthless than her husband, Lady Macbeth exploits her ambitions to help her get what she wants, for example, manipulating Macbeth to kill their ruler. Lady Macbeth, unlike her husband, holds no loyalties to King Duncan, causing her to feel detached and the decision to kill

Macbeth is a tragedy written in the 17th century that shows what the desire for power can do to a man. Macbeth is expressed as being the villain. But, Macbeth is in fact a tragic hero, doomed by fate from the beginning into the madness he put himself in. If it not been for meeting the witches and persuasion of his wife, the play would have had a very different ending.

Lady Macbeth is one of the most dominant characters in the play Macbeth because of her ambitious, manipulative and deceitful nature. Lady Macbeth’s ambition is her most consuming trait. It is expressed in the quote “Come, you spirits/ that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here/and fill me from the crown to the toe topfull/of direst cruelty”(I.v.l.39-42). This famous quote said by Lady Macbeth is about how she wishes to be more like a man so she can kill Duncan herself, which proves that she is willing to take any measures possible to earn success for her and her her husband Macbeth. Additionally, Lady Macbeth is a manipulative character . Her controlling nature is exhibited when she manipulates her husband into killing the king, by saying

Lady Macbeth must understand and

Everyone has a quality that they do not like about themselves. Some people struggle to be social, others may be too controlling of people. The list goes on and on, but the point is that everybody has a particular quality that they must learn to control or else that particular quality can get out of hand. Of course, one could write a list of characters that have major flaws. There is no better example than William Shakespeare’s character, Macbeth, in The Tragedy of Macbeth. Anyone who has ever read it, could easily identify the fatal flaw that the character Macbeth possesses which is greed. Even though many readers can all agree that greed is Macbeth’s fatal flaw, the argument as to whether or not

Macbeth In the play Macbeth written by Shakespeare, Lady Macbeth strives to be more like a man. She wants to have man like characteristics because she feels that she could accomplish so many more things if she was “manly.” Throughout the play she is the only person who thinks that a quality of being a man means being able to kill and harm others without feeling guilty. The men in the play do not agree with her opinion but her opinions soon become a reality.

As the play goes, Macbeth shows a character of free will. Although his destiny was pre-determined for him by the witches, he took action to believe and to make sure that his prophecies will come true. Macbeth is a strong character with many deep desires that include gaining power, and so throughout the play with the many crimes he had committed, there was no turning back for him. In all, his decisions help shape the future ahead of him.

Through love and death, Shakespeare has brought us the most renowned plays of all time. For over 400 years the world has had the opportunity to watch, listen and perform the art known as Shakespeare. With Shakespeare's work on tragedies, comes the play Macbeth. Going from a Thane to the king, then killing the king to become the king, and then being killed himself, Macbeth is one of the top tragedies written. Being overcome with the prophecy of becoming king, Macbeth starts to feel the ambition and greed building up inside him, not only him but also his wife, Lady Macbeth. When she receives the letter about the news her feelings start to get the best of her as well. Many believe that Lady Macbeth is the one to blame for her husband's downfall,

Lady Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s most frightening and strong-willed female characters. It is she, being far more ruthless, mentally stronger, and more determined compared to her indecisive husband, who takes on the masculine role. After reading Macbeth's letter in which he describes meeting the Three witches and learning of their prophecies, Lady Macbeth's grows ambitious. Viewing such opportunity as grace and favour of the fates, Lady Macbeth embraces the idea of killing Duncan. However, Lady Macbeth believes Macbeth “Is too full o’ the milk of human kindness.” Macbeth is too gentle and weak to murder Duncan, an honoured guest, a fellow kinsmen, the king. At one point, Lady Macbeth wishes she were not a woman, and calls upon the murderous sprits to "unsex me here".

Lady Macbeth’s lust for power causes her to ignore possible consequences of her actions. Lady Macbeth gets a letter from her husband that tells her of the witches’ prophecy about Macbeth. As soon as she hears this, she wants Macbeth to kill King Duncan. However, she is afraid Macbeth is too kind to kill Duncan, so she takes matters into her own hands: “Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here...

Lady Macbeth is a woman of single purpose. On receiving word from Macbeth of his great success and his subsequent meeting with the, 'weird sisters,' their prophecy and its partial fulfillment, her mind is instantly engaged by murderous ambition. She is also aware that her husband, despite his

Previously Macbeth had agreed to kill Duncan and once he expresses that he is unsure, Lady Macbeth calls him a coward. She also begins to degrade him, saying that he was a man when he had agreed to the murder, but now that he considered backing out he was less of a man. Lady Macbeth acts as though she overrules him, telling him that the murder must be done and that they will not fail. Later on in the play, following the murder of Banquo, Macbeth begins to see his ghost at a dinner with many other higher ups. As his guilt grows and conscious weighs heavy, Lady Macbeth becomes covers up for him but after the guest leaves she says, “would well become / A woman’s story at a winter’s fire / Authorized by her grandam” (3.4.64-66). Lady Macbeth cannot understand the problems Macbeth is having with the crimes he told others to commit. Instead of being kind and understanding, as women would stereotypically would be, she in a sense makes fun of him, comparing him to a woman talking to her grandmother by the fire. In the instance, she is again being demeaning and making her husband seem as though he is the weak one. Whenever Lady Macbeth is conversing with her husband, Shakespeare makes it seem as though she is the one that has it all together, feels no guilt, and is in control of their relationship. In a patriarchal society, relationships like this would be thought to be conducted in the complete opposite manner with the man on top, but Shakespeare uses

John Charles Bucknill wrote, “He discovers that Lady Macbeth is the mock fortitude of a mind deluded by ambition. She shames her husband by a superhuman audacity of fancy which she cannot support, but sinks in the season of remorse,
