Lady Macbeth's Letter

I forsake you and your cruel intentions as a traitor to the crown. Your actions correlate with treason and must be held accountable in a court of law. Moreover, You must reveal your wrongdoing and take responsibility for your bloodthirsty ambition. As vile as your heart’s aspiration is, betraying your own people is an unacceptable method to achieve success. How could you slaughter the very man who dines in your castle and promotes you? Wisdom often tends to distinguish men with hopeful determination from fools with fallacious ambition. Shall I declare you a fool? Nevertheless, Macbeth, admit your exploits to the people and accept your punishment. Destiny is never guaranteed, and fate cannot justify senseless actions.

This is demonstrated when Lady Macbeth states ‘He that’s coming, must be provided for; and you shall put this night’s great business into my dispatch, which shall to all our nights and days to come give solely sovereign sway and masterdom’. This language shows how dominant and over powering Lady Macbeth was, unusual for a woman in that era who usually was employed with domestic duties, such as cleaning, cooking and needlework. This dominant characteristic is illustrated further, when Lady Macbeth expressed ‘unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe top-full of direst cruelty’. It is additionally shown in ‘Come to my woman’s breasts, and take my milk for gall, you murd'ring ministers.’ Lady Macbeth is so ruthless; she is developing male traits and qualities. Furthermore, she is making a clear reference, and in turn appealing to the evil spirits for assistance in her plot to kill the king.

Lady Macbeth’s strength of will persists through the murder of King Duncan as it is she who tries to calm Macbeth after committing the crime by declaring confidently that, “a little water clears us of this deed,” (2.2.67). Afterward, however, Lady Macbeth’s strong and ambitious character begins to deteriorate into madness. Her first sign of weakness occurred when she confessed that she could not have killed the king, revealing a natural woman’s feelings, “had he not resembled my father as he slept, I had done’t” (2.2.13-14). Just as ambition has affected her before more so then Macbeth before the crime, the guilt plagues her now more effectively afterward as she desperately tried to wash away the invisible blood from her sin, “Here’s the smell of the blood still: all the perfume of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand,” (5.1.48-49). Lady Macbeth’s

I’m here to tell you about you king Macbeth. The one you all trust to lead you. He is the most deranged and manipulative person you will ever meet. Why would you trust him to lead you but, you do trust him don’t you he is your heaven almighty isn’t he the one you count on to lead you. Why would you want someone that is going to kill you if you try to suspect him of anything as your king. I need you people to see what i see this demon of a madman with no remorse.

She believes that her ambition to become queen will come true after reading Macbeth's letter with tells her of his meeting with the witches and their prophecy that Macbeth will become king. Shakespeare wrote "Macbeth" so that throughout the play tension is built up and the play relates strongly to witchcraft and the

With the visit to King Duncan, the King announces that his son Malcolm will be heir to the throne. In Macbeth’s mind, all he can think about is murdering the King and all that will come along with it. Macbeth sends a letter to his wife telling of all that has happened and to prepare for the King’s visit. In order to keep the murder in her mind she doesn’t want anything to get in her way, so she even goes to the point of seeking evil and not wanting to be a women-afraid of the feminine ways which will interfere in the murder. When Lady Macbeth says, “Come, you spirits/ That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, / And fill me, from the crown to the toe, top-full/ Of direst cruelty! Make thick my blood; (I v ll. 44-47) it shows how far Lady Macbeth is willing to go to make sure her husband and herself gets to the top. She even goes to the point to call upon the spirits to unsex her and fill her with cruelty to make sure that here feminine ways don’t cause the plan to go wrong.

Moreover, the first time Lady Macbeth appeared to the audiences was when she received the letter from Macbeth. In the letter, Macbeth told her that he had become the Thane of Glaims because he won a war, at the same time, Macbeth told her about the prophecy from the witches. By the time Lady Macbeth finished reading the letter, she was both excited and worried, she claimed, “Glaims thous art, and Cawdor; and shalt be, / what thou art promised” (I.v.11-12). Lady Macbeth restates that her husband now becomes both Thane of Glaims and Cawdor. Later she said, “shalt be, / what thou art promised,” which means that she takes the prophecy seriously and willing to do anything she can to make sure it comes true. Moreover, the word “shall be” reflects

We can see from the text that lady Macbeth loves Macbeth very much but she is also very controlling to such a point that she will try to convince him to kill the king. We can see that they are both very caring about each other because they are always sending letters to each other like strait after the encounter with the three witches he sends her a letter almost immediately to inform lady Macbeth of what has happened and how he might become king.

She thinks Macbeth is a coward, she feels Macbeth can’t do anything just like a baby. “Infirm of purpose! Give me the daggers. The sleeping and the dead Are but as pictures. ‘Tis the eye of childhood That fears a painted devil. If he do bleed, I’ll gild the faces of the grooms withal, For it must seem their guilt”(2.2 line 52-57). Lady Macbeth just wants power, she doesn’t care about killing other people at all, she’s cold-hearted and crazy, she would do anything to get power. However, after she feels like she’ll lose all of her power, she goes crazy. ”Here’s the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand” (5.1 line 49-50). When she thinks about losing her power, she went crazy, she’s afraid of losing her power and afraid of what would happen to her, she made her own

“What thou wouldst highly That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false, And yet wouldst wrongly win.” Lady Macbeth’s role shows the audience a reflection of Macbeth’s attitude and character, especially that he was honest and loyal towards his kingdom.

I am writing to you today because I have heard many concerning things pertaining to you. If this is true, Macbeth, I beg you with everything I have not to follow through with this disastrous task. You are one of my closest friends and I would be distraught if something terrible happened to you. I cannot bear to see you go through with something so absurd, Macbeth. You have so much going for you- you have a wonderful wife and you are going to become king. You are going to jeopardize not only your future, but everyone else’s around you. Cheating your way to the throne will not make you superior, nor will lying about the act. King Duncan is loved by so many people, myself included.

You fates boast your ability to command the path of a person’s life, prideful of the claim you have unwavering demand over one’s singular destiny, but how can this be true when you have no authority over an individual in which route they choose to embark upon towards their destination? An ending outcome might be determined by you Μοῖραι, but only after the individual in question determines which branch they should climb upon.

Although not as evil looking as the witches, Lady Macbeth can also be perceived as one. In the same way that the witches sabotage the order of religion and that of society so does Lady Macbeth. She does this by trying to overwhelm her husband and have more power than he does. She also performs several deeds that imply that she is evil and like that of a witch. This includes her challenging her husband’s manhood through attempting to appear and act more aggressive and masculine than he is. This desire for masculinity is expressed when she says: “Come, you spirits. That tend on moral thought, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the tow top-full Of direst cruelty” (Shakespeare, 1996), casting

This is your dearest partner in crime, Lady MacBeth. Think of all the riches we will gain once we kill the king. Since you’ve already received honours from the king, nobody will ever suspect it was us. Especially not after we intoxicate the guards and cover them in Duncan’s blood after this beautiful murder we commit. You even said, “After we have marked with blood those two sleeping guards, and used their own daggers for the crime, everyone will think they did it. (18)” With the foul “king” finally out of our way, we can rule. You will be king, and I shall be your queen. Together, we can rule Scotland. We will be invincible. But, why must you be such a coward? What about your hopes for the future? Have your hopes been sleeping,

husband. She has no power of her own. So her main worry is that the
