lady macbeth
Throughout the play "Macbeth", by William Shakespeare, Lady Macbeth's character drastically changes from being sinister to feeble. Lady Macbeth was an evil, manipulative person whose greed and selfishness were eventually the downfall of her character and well being. During the beginning of "Macbeth", she used her twisted mind to convince her husband to murder, making him believe that it was the only way he could get what he wanted. But as the play developed and the murders started to increase, Lady Macbeth started to question whether or not they were necessary. Sadly, though possibly justifiably, she ended up committing suicide after her constant questioning of the murders drove her to insanity. Lady Macbeth was an unemotional person who only cared about what she could gain. She made her disconcern about other people well known when she said, "How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me / I would, while it was smiling in my face / Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums / And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn as you / Have done to this." (Act I, Scene VII, Lines 55-60). Lady Macbeth refers that she would have no problem taking the life of her son, if it meant getting what she wanted. The fact that she would

After Macbeth killed King Duncan, still reeling from the crime he had committed, he met up with his wife. All she could think about was covering up her own tracks. She was afraid that Banquo would come after her due to her involvement in all of those hideous crimes, especially his own. She said, "My hands are of your color, but I shame / To wear a heart so white. But Lady Macbeth had other ideas in mind. Telling Macbeth that her hands were as bloody as his own was to try to give him comfort that he was not alone in his schemes. She would converse with herself, walk around disoriented, and talk incoherently. As the play progresses forward, Lady Macbeth's character suddenly takes a drastic turn, as she soon became aberrant and demented. If only she knew that it would be her who would be taken out of this world so cruelly. Act V is the main portion of "Macbeth" that showed the destruction of Lady Macbeth's identity. Lady Macbeth imagined that the blood of King Duncan was on her hands, and she couldn't wash it from them.
