According to the play “Macbeth”, Lady Macbeth said, “I would rather to smash out my baby's brain than fail to keep the promise”. This strongly supports that Lady Macbeth is a bad woman and she doesn’t care about her husband and her baby. She also takes control of their marriage and she always pushes her husband to do things. She sat a plan to kill the king (Duncan) and persuaded her husband to do it. According to the play “Macbeth”, Lady Macbeth called her husband “a Cawdor and you are not a man”. She also said, “when you durst do it, then you are a man”. That shows, she had a really strong character that she is telling her man he is “not a man”. According to Macbeth play, “unsex me here”. This shows that Lady Macbeth is so strong that she called evils to help her
She makes evident how important it is for her being the one with power in the relationship with her husband when she wants to take her femininity away as well as wanting to control Macbeth’s actions. By saying ” unsex me here. And fill me, from the crown to the toe, top-full of direst cruelty! Make thick my blood,” it’s evident she believes that in order to have power and be though she needs to be a man and that’s why she expects a cruel attitude from Macbeth. To sum up, She tries to have control over her husband power by ordering him to follow her plan of killing Duncan and expresses a negative attitude towards him commenting, “But screw your courage to the sticking-place,/And we 'll not fail.”(1.7)
“I'll go no more; I am afraid to think of what I have done. Look not again I dare not.” (Macbeth scene 2 act 2). This is a quote from Macbeth in the play Macbeth. This is Macbeth regretting what he did after killing King Duncan.
Lady Macbeth told her husband why she could not go through with the misbehaving plan. After the king was died, Macbeth became the new king, which led too other killings. Macbeth had to get his threatening people out of his way. He hired murderous to do his fatal deeds.
Macbeth is a dark play written by Shakespeare. It is about a kingdom in Scotland in which the people living there turn on each other and don't know who to trust. Macbeth changes from an innocent man to a murderous villain. In the end, his cockiness will get the best of him. Throughout the play Macbeth, Shakespeare uses many literary devices to convey the theme, “guilt cannot be washed away.”
In the play Macbeth there was a lot of stuff that went on that could keep the reader interested. One of these things are all of the murders in the play. With all these murders happening, there has to be someone to blame. In the play Lady Macbeth is to blame for the murders because she called evil upon herself, influenced Macbeth to be a murder, and she wanted power.
. Lady Macbeth insults Macbeth’s manhood when Macbeth says “we will proceed no further in this business.” She questions his courage and his manhood when she says: Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own act and valour, As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that
Macbeth shows that he is willing to kill King Duncan because he is interested in the witches prophecy, after they tell him that he will become ‘Thane of Cawdor’ and then the King.
Macbeth was a general in Duncan’s army, nowhere close to the throne of Scotland. However after hearing the witches’ prophecy of him becoming the King, Macbeth knew Duncan was what stood in his way. Macbeth decided he was going to kill Duncan when
She is malicious not only in words but also in her intent. Her sole object is to obtain power and wealth, with its attendant treasures. Lady Macbeth lacks humanity and regrets that she was not born as a man. She understands that power and violence are synonymous with manhood and bravery. Additionally, Lady Macbeth interests’ and ambition, override her love for even her husband, Macbeth.
I believe that there are three people to blame for the murder of Duncan. The three witches,Macbeth, Macbeth’s wife . They all had something to do with the murder. They all put the thought in Macbeth 's head that he would become king and that is what drove the blade through the old king. It doesn’t matter that the witches and the wife didn’t kill the king.
Macbeth calls her his “dearest partner of greatness”, which indicates they have a close relationship, and he considers her equal to him. “Lady Macbeth must act and think "like a man" because good women are by definition subservient, and can exert no recognizable authority.” When there is the idea of murdering King Duncan, she takes control of the situation. She calls on the evil sprits saying, “unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe top-full, of direst cruelty.” She needed to be male in order to kill Duncan because it was believed only men could commit murder, since women were too dainty to do
Macbeth was introduced as a hero and everyone thought very highly of him. King Duncan trusted and was comfortable around Macbeth. He considered him as his friend and someone he could confide in. Macbeth’s love for the King and for Scotland makes him not seem wholly evil. It was Lady Macbeth who influenced Macbeth into killing King Duncan.
King Duncan then decided he would go to Macbeth 's house for dinner where Lady Macbeth had already been made aware of the situation with the witches and that Macbeth was not named king. When Macbeth arrives home she suggests they kill him, after he declines, she starts questioning his manhood and peer pressures him until he decides to kill Duncan. This act scarred the two sons of Duncan so they fled the country and Macbeth was crowned. Obviously the play ends with Macbeth as the villain, dethroned and beheaded.
The play Macbeth written by Shakespeare focuses on the rise and fall of the main character, Macbeth. Macbeth’s one critical decision was largely influenced by his wife, Lady Macbeth, and this influence is exemplified early on in the play. In Act I Scene vii, Macbeth seemingly decides against killing King Duncan; however, Lady Macbeth persuades him to go ahead with the deed through her compelling argument. Moreover, Lady Macbeth’s ability to influence her husband so greatly demonstrates the strength of their marriage. By appealing both emotionally and logically to her husband, Lady Macbeth very easily convinces him against his own conscience.
She had the total control over her husband in plotting the murder of Duncan and chiding her husband for not acting more like a man; yet, despite this participation, she seems to be the main motivation for the revealing of the Macbeth’s stand in the usurpation of the throne: Hie thee hither, That I may pour my spirits in thine ear, And chastise with the valor of my tongue All that impedes thee from the golden round Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem To have thee crowned withal.(Macbeth 1.5.23-28) Next to this part some of her speeches for ambition of power portray her as an unnatural character that almost certify her as the fourth witch of the play. During her persuasion her cruelty and tendency for violence is intentionally brought to light when she claims even to kill her own child for what she has promised to do: I have given suck, and know How tender ’tis to love the
