Macbeth, as a play is a well-known tragedy that stills retains influence largely in the literary world but also the world as a whole. The issue of who the blames for the tragedy falls upon is a misapprehended topic, wrongly thought to be controversial at all. The blame falls solely on Macbeth for several reasons. He was the one to commit regicide and follow through on the actions incited by Lady Macbeth. He had complete trust and faith in what the witches said without even an inkling of suspicion that they might be using him and decided to take action rather than wait for the fulfillment of the prophecies. He made the decision to be a tyrannical ruler bordering on being a Megalomaniac. Macbeth is the only reason and cause that everything went awry.

The Tragedy of Macbeth details the downfall of the tragic hero, Macbeth, and is one of William Shakespeare’s most famous works of tragedy. Macbeth’s bloody murders and eventual descent into complete madness serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of uncontrolled ambitions in humanity. Macbeth may not be held responsible for the death of Duncan and Macduff’s family, but he should be for that of Banquo’s. It is definitely arguable that Macbeth is the cause behind the death of Duncan, Banquo and Macduff’s family; however, the influence of others and his mental instability greatly reshaped his persona, as such, Macbeth cannot always be held responsible for his actions.
Lady Macbeth jumped to her death last night. Her nurse reports she had watched Lady Macbeth and she has sleepwalked and talked to herself, she had done this consistently throughout the nights while Macbeth was at war. “Why should we be scared, when no one can lay the guilt upon us?—But who would have thought the old man would have had so much blood in him?.” (act 5, scene 1, pg 2). Lady Macbeth had felt guilt because she had killed people, she was trying to wash the blood out of her hands.
First of all, Macbeth is responsible for Duncan's death, because he made the decision. Lady Macbeth might have told Macbeth to do it, but in reality she was not the one who actually killed Duncan. As it says in the text “Glamis hath murdered sleep, and therefore cawdor shall sleep no more: Macbeth shall sleep no more”(2.2 Shakespeare). This quote shows that after killing Duncan, Macbeth regrets the decision he has made, it also shows him guilt stricken. On the other hand some think that, it was Lady Macbeth’s fault that Macbeth killed Duncan, because she manipulated him by telling him that he was a wuss, or that he was not man enough to do it.

Although at the beginning of the play Lady Macbeth did present the idea to Macbeth himself; she wanted to just kill the one person.

Macbeth decided that by eliminating all competition not just those who had come before him, he would consolidate and ensure his reign indefinitely.

Macbeth is a play rife with tragedy. Written by William Shakespeare most probably in the year 1606, the play was very loosely based on somewhat true events. The play focuses on Macbeth’s rise to power, and then his subsequent demise shortly thereafter. Macbeth's ambitions were too big, and the choices that he made were the wrong ones. If he had never chosen to kill the King, then he would not have been killed in return. And while prophecies were made that predicted what would happen, Macbeth was the one that set them into motion, and he was the only one responsible for his own death.
The tragedy of Macbeth included many deaths, but there was no given answer about who was held accountable for all the deaths. The killing of King Duncan was triggered by both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Even though both were involved, Lady Macbeth was most responsible for the killing of King Duncan because she is the more evil character, she manipulated her husband into doing it, and because she established the details of the plan to kill Duncan.
