Lady Macbeth Is Evil

Lady Macbeth is filled evil schemes, and knows how to achieve her goal of getting her husband into the kingly position. Lady Macbeth is very convincing in her ideas, and does not leave a lot of space to think otherwise. Macbeth is not left much choice but to conform himself to his wife’s mischievous strategy to get him to become king. He is very loyal, and wants to remain so to his king even knowing he would become king if Duncan, the present king, were to die. Lady Macbeth, however, has other plans for Macbeth, and she soon has him convinced to commit an act which will change their lives forever. Macbeth and his wife are truly opposite people, as Macbeth is laid back and easy going, while Lady Macbeth wants everything planned out and will go onward with plans no matter who they affect. She truly does make Macbeth a more interesting person through her evil schemes.

In Shakespare’s play Macbeth, Lady Macbeth’s destiny is formed by her own actions through mind and free-will. In act I, Lady Macbeth convinces her husband to murder Duncan, even though Macbeth was strongly against it. Lady Macbeth is very successful at persuading him to go against his better judgment. She entirely changes the stereotype of women being kind and caring in the first act. After Macbeth writes home telling of his murderous plans, Lady Macbeth begins talking to evil spirits. Because women often lack the ruthlessness to kill someone, Lady Macbeth asks the spirits to make her male. One of the most vivid descriptions of Lady Macbeth’s wickedness is directly after Macbeth announces to her he does not want to kill Duncan. This speech symbolizes Lady Macbeth’s evilness. She is ruthless, because of her evil accounts for the murders that occur throughout the play. Lady Macbeth convinces her husband to commit murders that will make them king

Lady Macbeth is the penultimate person in the play, especially at the beginning, next to Macbeth himself. And though she does not survive to the end, her influence on Macbeth lasts throughout.

Lady Macbeth is far more evil than the witches; however Macbeth is more than just a dagger in her hand. Reasons for this statement are that the witches simply tell Macbeth the

Macbeth’s wife, Lady Macbeth, was a woman who strived for a leading role in the kingdom and true power who would have done anything to get it. Lady Macbeth had the intention to kill King Duncan and take away the throne by convincing Macbeth to commit scandalous and shameful crimes in the kingdom. Lady Macbeth was a manipulative woman whom no one can trust. However, her relationship with her husband was much different and also much stronger than the relationship

In conclusion, Lady Macbeth’s ruthless drive is what makes her liable for causing the most evil in Macbeth. Her persuasive insults attribute Macbeth to commit a series of murders that leads to his downfall. Despite the fact that Macbeth is the one commits these actions, it is Lady Macbeth who motivates him. The witches are less evil, because they only place the idea

In William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is the true villain of the play as she is evil, ambitious and eventually insane. Lady Macbeth masterminded the idea to kill King Duncan and planted the vision into Macbeths mind, she convinced Macbeth to commit such a crime, and her love for her husband was eventually overruled by her determination and lust for power. Throughout the play she starts to show her true colours and the destructive force of her ambition, which inevitably results in nothing but disaster.

Lady Macbeth is a complex and intriguing character in Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth. She is a difficult character to embody as her personality seems split between two sides, one that is pure evil, sly and conniving in contrast to her softer, vulnerable, weak and feminine side. In the play we see her in these two main ways. The reader may feel a certain animosity towards Lady Macbeth throughout the first few acts as her personality appears more and more distasteful, in spite of this towards the end she has a serious breakdown over the guilt that torments her, even in her sleep, regarding her hand in Duncan’s untimely death.

In the beginning of the play, the witches make three prophecies. First, that Macbeth will become the Thane of Cawdor. The second part of the prophecy is that Macbeth will become King. The third prophecy being that Banquo will be father to future kings. When Macbeth first hears the prophecy, Duncan holds the position as king. King duncan is also a very loved king by his people. Macbeth and Duncan even have a good relationship. Macbeth is Duncan’s greatest war hero and because of Macbeth’s great success in battle, Duncan rewards him by promoting him to the position of Thane of Cawdor. With this promotion, Macbeth realizes that the witches first prophecy was true. With this realization, Macbeth’s head begins to fill with thoughts of killing King Duncan to speed up the process so that he can become king. When he tells his wife of the prophecies and his promotion, she becomes extremely

Lady Macbeth can be said to be one of Shakespeare's most famous and frightening female characters. She fulfills her role among the nobility and is well respected, like Macbeth. She is loving, yet very determined that her husband will be king. At the beginning of the play, when she is first seen, she is already plotting the murder of Duncan, showing more strength, ruthlessness, and ambition than Macbeth. She lusts after power and position and then pressures her husband into killing Duncan. Upon receiving the letter with the witches' prophecies from her husband, she begins to think and knowing that Macbeth lacks the courage for something like this, she calls upon the forces of evil to help her do what must be

Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth as evil since she often uses a soliloquy which presents the idea of secretive, as she doubts how trustworthy people surrounding her is, which makes the audience realise how she thinks she is alone. I know this because in the text it says, “Unsex me”, Shakespeare makes this suggests that she is confident yet weak. Shakespeare suggests that Lady Macbeth as devious because of the use of the phrase ‘Pour my spirits in thine ear’, as it makes people back then how one would pour poison into another’s ear during their sleep to murder them. When pouring into Macbeth’s ear, it personally makes me think that she meant the illness of evil that she believes she owns, and she chastises against Macbeth refusing to this attempt of murder and thinks he should be more valorous. Shakespeare proves that these are her thoughts by including ‘Chastise with the valour of my tongue’ in the play.

Shakespeare's play Macbeth shows the roots of all evil, our own human nature. The play is centered on the coexistence of good and evil. Macbeth, unlike any other Shakespeare play has the protagonist convert to evil. In the beginning of the play, Macbeth is shown as a hero in the Scottish army, that is ironic because Macbeth defeats a traitor and he himself becomes one later. Macbeth knows his place in the world. He is fully capable of distinguishing between right and wrong. Macbeth purposely disregards his own moral judgment to rise to power which is again ironic and goes against his own beliefs. Macbeth stands as a symbol for Satan's sin of ambition. Like Satan, Macbeth's thirst for power and ambition drives him to commit evil.Contrary to

Throughout Shakespeare’s play it shows how wicked Lady Macbeth and Macbeth they really are. Although Macbeth commits evil deeds, he's sure not vicious as Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth is more evil, because she is cruel for encouraging Macbeth to brutally stab Duncan. When Lady Macbeth finds out about the witches' prophecy, that Macbeth will be the King of Scotland, she fears he will be too kind-hearted to achieve his position, so she begins to take matters into her own hands by quickly taking action and creating a perfect plan.

While there are many cruel acts and villones characters, I believe that Lady Macbeth is the real villain because she put her needs before her husband’s and manipulated him, turning her own lover into a murder. Macbeth tells Lady Macbeth about what the witches had predicted that he will become King. He knows that for him to become king he must murder King Duncan, but he under no circumstances wants to do that. Lady Macbeth, the greedy and selfish person she is, persuaded him to kill the King, so she can become queen. Macbeth had made up his mind, he will not kill anyone, but Lady Macbeth has set her mind to becoming queen so she urgently snaps back to her husband, “When you durst do it, then you were a man.

Lady Macbeth is seen as evil, and there is lots of evidence for this. At points she also has a similar evil tone to the witches. This is seen when she says “Hie the hither,” this also shows her use an imperative. This is when she gives a command which no Jacobean wife would do, as it was their place to follow orders, not give them. The use of the imperative also shows how she is taking change. This is amazingly unusual for the time. The time that she sounds more evil than this is when it is her monologue after she has read the letter from Macbeth. When she says, “That I may pour my spirits in thine ear and chastise with the
