Lady Macbeth

heart is an aching vessel of pure sorrow. This cold, dark morn, is a dark one indeed. My poor Lady Macbeth, is gone forever, consumed by her insanity in her final days. To hell or to heaven? I cannot tell. Twenty-three years tomorrow, I would have been working for her as her gentlewoman. And now, what am I to do? I cannot continue working in this horrid castle ruled by a despicable man; this castle where my Lady took her own life. What was she thinking, in her last moments, standing here by this windowsill

Shakespeare’s Macbeth follows the journey and downfall of the titular protagonist, and it illustrates the effects of Macbeth’s descent into villainy on his once loving and close relationship with Lady Macbeth.

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

the play, Macbeth, by William Shakespeare Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have differing reactions to the sight of King Duncan’s blood. First, during a conversation immediately following the murder, Macbeth is losing his composure while Lady Macbeth ridicules him. Next, Shakespeare provides a visual imagery displaying how Macbeth and Lady Macbeth react to the blood smeared on their hands. The blood represents guilt. Finally, while trying to rid themselves of the blood on their hands, Macbeth fears that

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

regicide. Of course, I only ever think; daring not to speak as I am in no position to comment; now more than ever. They claim ‘the time is free’, but without Lady Macbeth’s presence, I have no reason for living in the Cawdor Castle! What freedom do I now hold? Though she can resemble the unpopularity of discolored Autumn leaves, Lady Macbeth failed to assume my motivations were accustomed. Though her soul may be gone, her actions will never fade from my mind. She was there for me during my first heartbreak

Contrast & Comparison of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth While analyzing the two main characters in Shakespeare’s tragic play Macbeth, critics have often argued about their true nature and inner coherence. Despite the effort made, very rarely are the characters presented as their true self, without the inclusion of psychoanalytical theories and other studies. Consequently, this essay’s primary goal is to analyze and discuss the main characteristics of the Macbeth couple—and how they relate with each other—by

between Lady Macbeth in Macbeth and the devils in Dr.Faustus. I argue that the effect of Lady Macbeth’s gender on her power makes her ultimately weaker than the devils. The devils are able to keep Dr.Faustus entrapped and ultimately succeed in their goal without remorse. What the difference between the two plays implies is that women have the capabilities to be as cruel and ambitious as men but social constraints are what deny them the means to pursue their ambitions.
