Lady Macbeths Diary
Dear Diary,

It is midnight right now. I am reminiscing what has occurred today. My foolish husband has created a sight of which I did not know how to handle. Macbeth spoiled pleasure time the guests were enjoying. He says he has seen thee ghost of Banquo. Is it the guilt of being involved in Banquo and Duncan’s murderer making him have delusions? Or, is he scared that someone knows about the deed? I told him once that the deeds not be thought as for it will make us mad. Did he not listen? Certainly he didn’t!

I was forced to declare to our noble guests that his health is not well and to pay no attention to what he is saying for his illness is worsening. I hope our worthy friends believed my lie. For tomorrow I will be obligated to answers questions. What should my respond be? That my loving husband has seen thee ghost of Banquo? That he is the one who has plotted his death?

He is not a man. My own husband is to coward and fragile to be a real man. If he were, he would not have performed the way he did today in the palace. I myself, a woman with no heart have married someone who only thinks with his heart, not his brains. I believed his scheme to kill Banquo made him a man. He finally had power and as for I did not have to be the husband in this loving relationship. My belief had no use. He once again proves that he is not a man! I suppose I will become mad by thinking of not the deed, but about how unintelligent my husband is.

Let the day end, and I will seek for tomorrow and be prepared for the inquiries I must have responses to.

Yours truly, Lady MacBeth

    Macbeth, after hearing the prophecies the three witches gave him, becomes conflicted within himself, ‘If chance shall have me King, why, chance may crown me, without my stir’. Ultimately, Macbeth chooses ambition over morality, but not without pressure from his wife ‘Are you a man?’ and severe inner turmoil ‘My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical’. To contrast the devious character of Macbeth, Shakespeare included Banquo, a fellow noblemen and Macbeth’s closest friend, to act as Macbeths foil. He immediately chooses morality over ambition without question and forewarns Macbeth of the Weird Sisters and their ability to twist the truth: ‘instruments of darkness tell us truths, win us with honest trifles, to betray’s in deepest consequence’. Banquo’s undying allegiance to King Duncan demonstrations the difference between Macbeth and Banquo, and how the upkeep of morals keep us in check. After choosing power, Macbeth’s suspicion of Banquo and his role in the prophecy leads to Banquo’s murder. After killing his friend, Macbeth is plagued with guilt, and hallucinations become recurrent for both Macbeth; ‘our graves must send those we bury back’ and his wife; ‘will these hands ne’er be clean?’ This shows that ambition can lead to immoral acts when overcome by desire.…

    "Bring Forth men-children only! For thy undaunted mettle should compose nothing but males."(I, vii, 73-75) Lady Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most frightening and strong female characters. She is ambitious, lusts for power and will stop at nothing for it; she is truly evil. This is evident when she asks evil spirits to come unsex her, when she tries to manipulate Macbeth into committing a most sinful crime, and that she is actively part of the crime also.…

    Lady Macbeth Analysis

    Shakespeare creates a facade when he coats Lady Macbeth with feelings of love and compassion for her husband Macbeth. However, when Lady Macbeth finds out the witches prophesied Macbeth was to become king she immediately thought of ways she could achieve her ambition, committing the sinful act of killing King Duncan was the first to come to mind. Lady Macbeth challenges Macbeths manly hood by stating “It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness” The noun “milk”, a word of purity and motherly love is used to describe how she thinks Macbeth is too soft hearted and cowardly to kill King Duncan, she bullies Macbeth into going along with the plan. Lady Macbeth knew that Macbeth was a warrior and has killed before so she tries to unleash that inner…

    In the play “Macbeth” written by Shakespeare the character Lady Macbeth is duplicitous. “…look like th’innocent flower, But be the serpent under’t” (I, vi, 64-65). The snake and the flower was a reference towards Macbeth although it depicts Lady Macbeth as well. Since she is under the same curse as Macbeth, because she has the same name, she is equally affected by the witches as he is. He is captured into the prophecy of the witches and so is Lady Macbeth. She might look kind and loyal to the king but above that, she is masked with greed and ambition. Lady Macbeth’s duplicity is also shown through the black permitting from behind her body. This displays her real true self that is covered by the cracked, masked bewitched image on the top. This was created through the witch’s interpretation of fate. “…look into the seeds of time…” (I, iii, 56)…

    Ambition can drive one to extremes. It can serve as a catalyst for one to act outside of their normal behaviour. These acts can either lead to one's success, or to their downfall. In William Shakespeare's tragic play Macbeth, the playwright explains how a man met his demise when his ambition took over his life. Macbeth's greed, insecurity, and despair motivates his ambition, which leads him to their ultimate demise.…
