In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the antagonist Macbeth is influenced and motivated by his wife Lady Macbeth to plan and execute vicious acts. Lady Macbeth is presented as a villainous character as she instigates her husband into committing horrendous acts starting with the murder of Duncan.

And constantly manages to feed Macbeth’s thoughts with heartless and unfavorable comments. “When you durst do it, then you were a man; And to be more than what you were, you would..be so much more than the man” (1.7.47-51). Lady Macbeth cleverly uses these quotes to mock Macbeth’s ability to behave like a man. She questions Macbeth’s identity and uses him as a pawn to complete her plan.

What a kind man Banquo is, always looking out for the interest of others. Too bad he won’t be around much longer to continue doing so. He must be killed. It is the only way to protect my throne. Banquo may be my friend and my trusted colleague and he is a good, noble man but he is a threat to me. His living will lead to my demise. The prophecy the witches predict, knowing that he will father a long line of kings if he lives, leaves me frozen in fear. I have no heir to the throne, I have no one. I know that Banquo suspects that I killed Duncan, I can tell by the way he acts around me. He is tense and uneasy. He isn’t wrong to be.

Lady Macbeth was also the one who planted the daggers on the guards when Macbeth couldn't follow through with it. If she hadn't have done that there is a good chance that they could have been caught. She asks “Why did you bring these daggers from the place? / They must lie there:

Lady Macbeth in the beginning of the play is very manipulative, most of the times she manipulates her husband into doing either what she wants or what she thinks should do.
