Lady Macbeth fulfills her role among the nobility and is well respected like Macbeth. She is nothing less than faithful in her godly role as wife and helper. She is found at home managing household chores, awaiting Macbeth’s return from battle. She is his "partner in greatness," his "dearest chuck."

She didn't care about whom she would hurt (emotionally or physically) to acquire kingship. She saw nothing wrong with killing the king. Lady Macbeth starts out looking only at the goal of Macbeth becoming King. The force that drives Lady Macbeth is her insatiable thirst for power. She gives little notice to the consequences of their actions. But as the play moves forward, she starts to see what they have done. It is even she who goes to warn Lady Duncan about the approaching danger. And as Macbeth becomes more resolved, and more dedicated to his goal, she begins to understand what terrible things are happening, and it is eventually her undoing.

At the end she chooses death because she can no longer bear the torments of her guilt.
