It can be said that Lady Macbeth is responsible for the fall of Macbeth. I believe that she was partly responsible for this. I believe that two sets of people are responsible for the fall of Macbeth.. Secondly I believe that Lady Macbeth is responsible for his fall. She urges him to kill Duncan questioning his manly-hood and saying that he was too kind. Finally I believe that the witches played a huge part in the fall of Macbeth. The witches put the thought of being king into Macbeth’s head in the first place. They also convinced him that he was invincible and this caused his ultimate death.
I believe that Lady Macbeth is partly responsible for the fall of Macbeth. She plans and forces Macbeth to murder starting the chain reaction to his downfall. When Lady Macbeth read the letter that Macbeth sent her about his encounter with the witches she immediately starts planning Duncan’s murder.
“The raven himself is hoarse
That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan
Under my battlements”
Lady Macbeth plans the whole murder and if Duncan had not looked like her father she would have done it herself.
“Had he not resembled
My father as he slept, I had done’t”
She forces Macbeth to carry out the murder even though he expresses that he doesnt want to do it.
“We will proceed no further in this business:”
“I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition ,which o’erlaps itself
And falls on the other”
Lady Macbeth accuses Macbeth of not loving her and questions his manly-hood in order to manipulate him into murdering Duncan.
“When you durst do it then you were a man,
And to be a more to be that what you were, you would be so much more the man”
Lady Macbeth uses Macbeth’s lack of confidence to win him over and force him to finish the murder.
“Art thou afeard
To be the same in thine own act and valour
As thou art in desire?”
She thinks he is too “full of the milk of kindness”
