Lady Macbeth’s Deceptiveness
In the play Macbeth by Shakespeare a brutal murder occurs and no one is quite sure about the person responsible. Lady Macbeth is the one who is responsible for Duncan’s death, not only for deceiving Macbeth into doing it but also by being an accessory to the murder. Her ambition for the title and crown of being queen is much more plentiful than that of her husband Macbeth with whom she guides to take the crown she rightfully believes they deserve.
Macbeth is on his way from winning battle for the king of Scotland and in that time sends a letter to his wife Lady Macbeth alerting her of the visitors that are coming to stay and what has happened in that time they have been apart. He tells her about the witch’s prediction of his future and immediately Lady Macbeth begins to take matters into her own hands. “Glamis thou art, and Cawdor; and shalt be what thou art promised yet do, I fear thy nature, it is too full o’ th’ milk of human kindness.” (Act 1 Scene 5) She believes her husband can become king but fears he is too kind and won’t be able to do what will need to be done to win the crown. “And that which rather thou dost fear to do, than wishest should be undone. Hie thee hither, that I may pour my spirits in thine ear and chastise with the valor of my tongue all that impedes thee from the golden round, which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem to have thee crowned withal.” (Act 1 Scene 5) Lady Macbeth fears her husband is too kind to do any acts of violence so now she believes it is up to her to persuade him into doing whatever necessary.
Before Macbeth arrives Lady Macbeth already has her evil plan made but fears she also is too kind to perform the dirty deed. “The raven himself is hoarse that croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan under my battlements. Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe top-full of direst cruelty.
