Macbeth

 

            
             When caught in the middle of a dilemma, we usually turn towards those we love for advice, since after all they are the ones to whom we listen. In William Shakespeare's "Macbeth", Lady Macbeth is of great influence to Macbeth. She reveals her secret evil nature, which pushes her and Macbeth towards evil doings. .
             This all began once Macbeth was told his prophecy of being king by the witches; he soon writes a letter to his wife explaining his newly found future, hoping to find some advice in return. Instead, Lady Macbeth quickly begins to think how life could be greater if he were king now. So Lady Macbeth comes up with a plan and then persuades Macbeth into killing King Duncan. "And to be more than what you were, you would be so much more the man." says Lady Macbeth, trying to change her husbands mind. She shows Macbeth that if they follow her plan exactly and show remorse for the kings" death, they would not fail. "Who dares receive it other, as we shall make our grief's and clamor roar upon his death?" Lady Macbeth persuasiveness wins in the end. She convinces Macbeth into doing something which he is normally incapable of doing. It just isn't him. All this done because Lady Macbeth was inpatient and greedy, but that doesn't mean Macbeth is innocent because he did physically kill King Duncan. .
             Lady Macbeth expresses a hidden evil throughout the play. Behind closed doors, we can say she is a different character. She shows her evil side by voicing her heartless phrases to herself. "That I may pour my spirits in thine ear". Lady Macbeth also shows no love but for her evil and has no boundaries when it comes to having her way. "Make thick my blood, Stop up th' Access and Passage to remorse". Expresses Lady Macbeth wanting more malevolence and is asking for her blood to stop the passage through her heart, so she can continue her evil ways without any remorse or guilt.
