Lady Macbeth Responsible For Duncan's Death.
John Keating English Honors Lady Macbeth Must Take Some .
Blame for Her Husband's Destruction In Macbeth, a play .
written by Shakespeare, Lady Macbeth is partially responsible .
for the destruction of her husband. Lady Macbeth is not a .
monster without feelings, however she is tricky and cunning .
when she influences Macbeth to kill Duncan. Lady Macbeth's .
ability to influence her husband leads the audience to believe .
that she is the primary cause for the destruction of Macbeth. .
The audience is also led to believe that Lady Macbeth is .
responsible because she makes up the details of the plan to .
kill Duncan, while Macbeth was considering not even going .
through with the murder. Although Macbeth had the thought of .
killing Duncan, he would not have acted on that thought .
unless Lady Macbeth persuaded him. Lady Macbeth is sly .
person, able to manipulate her husband, and this ability to .
manipulate Macbeth makes her partially responsible for the .
destruction of Macbeth. Lady Macbeth knows that her .
husband is too kind to kill Duncan without her help she fears .
"thy nature; / It is too full o'th" milk of human kindness / to .
catch the nearest way" (I.v.16-18). She is very much aware of .
the fact that she needs to push Macbeth to kill Duncan or else .
he will not do it. We see Macbeth's hesitance to murder the .
king when he lists reasons not to kill Duncan in Act 1, when .
he says, "He's here in double trust: / First, as I am his .
kinsman and his subject, / Strong both against the deed; then, .
as his host, / Who should against his murderer shut the door, .
/ Not bear the knife myself" (I.vii.12-16). Macbeth then says, .
"Besides, this Duncan / Hath born his faculties so meek, hath .
been / So clear in his great office, that his virtues / Will plead .
like angles, trumpet-tongued, against / The deep damnation .
of his taking off" (I.vii.16-19). We see that Macbeth does not .
want to kill Duncan because he is afraid of being caught.
