Eve And Lady Macbeth Comparison

A major comparison between Lady Macbeth and Eve is the fact that they were both temptresses. In Macbeth, lady M persuades her husband into killing Duncan so that he could become king. At first, he is very hesitant at the thought, but eventually goes through with it. In the end, both Lady Macbeth and Macbeth die from their actions. Similarly, in the story of Genesis, Eve wants to eat from the forbidden tree after she is told it would be fine if she did. After trying the fruit Eve convinces Adam to also eat the forbidden fruit. Like Macbeth he is weary of the idea at first but then caves and eats it. After God finds out what they’ve done, they are thrown out of the Garden of eden.
