Macbeth

A detailed Summary of Macbeth

Lady Macbeth: Portrait of Perfection

Perfection, a quality which everyone strives to achieve, can produce virtues in a person

from both light and darkness. Macbeth is a play which portrays Lady Macbeth with this perfection

of both sides. Throughout the play, she has a shadow of evil cast over her, but at the same time,

the loving qualities of a faithful wife. In Macbeth, playwright William Shakespeare explores the

theme of Lady Macbeth being the perfect wife and perfect evil effectively through emphasizing

her defining qualities which are being manipulative, loyal, and power driven.

Manipulation is an evil quality which is used to change someone's thoughts in a foul

manner, usually for one's own personal gain. In the play, Macbeth is manipulated very well into

the murder of King Duncan, which led to him wearing the golden crown and ruling the land. This

manipulation also drove him insane and led him on a bloody killing spree which eventually ended

with his nemesis, Macduff, having his head. This exploitation of Macbeth and his thoughts was

brain stormed in the mind of Lady Macbeth, his very own wife. When she received the letter from

her husband telling her about the appariti

King. Even when Macbeth's victims show themselves to him from beyond the grave and scare

husband to commit murder of the worst degree, just so she can gain the rewards which go with it.

Have done to this. ( I , vii, 55 - 60)

Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark

Have plucked the nipple from his boneless gums
