Role Of Lady Macbeth
In the play “The Tragedy of Macbeth”, written by William Shakespeare in 1606, among the characters that perform, there is Lady Macbeth.
She plays a major role until we see her decline in the Act 5 dictated by her own guilt.
Throughout the play she has a strong influence on her husband and is a primary cause for increasing Macbeth’s ambition. In the earlier acts of the play we can see that Lady Macbeth’s words mean a lot to him, giving the impression that she is definitely the dominant figure in the relationship.

In this play we can see how women overcome the male characters.
Shakespeare is very good at showing how the power of female characters is crucial to the success of the play and he also explain the ebb and flow of Lady Macbeth. At the beginning she embraces the wickedness of the Weird Sisters: “Lady Macbeth's power as a female temptress allies her in a general way with the witches as soon as we see her.” (Bloom’s Modern Critical Interpretations, Macbeth new edition)

Lady Macbeth is the initial force to make this entire play roll along. If she had not been in the play, Macbeth probably would not kill Duncan and he would become just the Thane of Coward.
She is a shrewd manipulator and she does fulfill the most cruel actions to people against their will.
Ambitious is a destructive force; although most of the time this word has a positive connotations, in The Tragedy of Macbeth we can see how the ambition and the desire of absolute power are actually features that lead to self-destruction.
Shakespeare is a master of showing the ebb and flow of Lady Macbeth during all the play, doing cover different roles to Lady Macbeth and thus inducing the readers to discover the different traits of the woman.
