Lady Macbeth vs. Macbeth
William Shakespeare's Macbeth, is a Medieval story about a Nobleman who had evil ambitions of becoming the King of Scotland. Throughout the story, Macbeth carries out three evil deeds, the murder of King Duncan, the murder of Banquo and, the murder of Macduff's innocent family. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are both responsible for these evil deeds, because Lady Macbeth drove Macbeth to commit the first murder. As a result of this, Macbeth had to carry out the other two murders to keep his evil ambition alive. Lady Macbeth is equally responsible for the Murder that was committed by Macbeth. She convinced Macbeth to kill Duncan, by questioning his manliness. Lady Macbeth illustrates her evil ambition, and her persecution of Macbeth's manliness in this quote. She is talking to Macbeth. Werein you dressed yourself? Hath it slept since? And wakes it now, to look so green and pale At what it did so freely? From this time Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own esteem, Letting "I dare not" wait upon "I would," Like the poor cat I' th' adage*" (Act I, Scene vii, Lines 35-45, Page 36)
Bring thou this fiend of Scotland and myself; Within my sword's length set him. If he 'scape, That trace him in his line. No boasting like a fool; Acquaint you with the perfect spy o' th' time,* "The castle of Macduff I will surprise; Hence, because of Lady Macbeth's constant and effective persuasion, Macbeth has committed three evil murders. He murdered his loving King Duncan, he murdered his most loyal and trust worthy friend, Banquo, and Macbeth murdered Macduff's innocent family. All for his evil ambition for the crown. In the end Lady Macbeth took her own life, and Macbeth got what was coming to him. Macbeth was murdered in the end by Macduff, who swore to get revenge. It is a question of weather or not Macbeth should have let fate take it's course, and let the prophesies happen naturally. Nevertheless Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's evil ambitions got the best of them.
