In Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”, the witches influence on how Macbeth made his decisions, it can be seen that encounter with the witches have guided Macbeth on his destructive path. Macbeth states, “I am in blood steeped so far that I should wade no more” in other words, going forward would be as difficult, as tedious, as going back. Rather than stop committing crimes, Macbeth says that he might as well continue to commit them. The feel of having power overcomes Macbeth and when he comes to realization of the sins he committed, it is too late to turn back. Lady Macbeth is always on the side of Macbeth telling him what she thinks he should do. He is also influenced by not only his wife, but by witches planting ideas into Macbeth’s head, to murder for personal gain. However, the way Macbeth’s lust for power urges him on into a path of destruction has nothing to do with anyone else but himself.
Lady Macbeth was a major and very important part of the play Macbeth. She is the one that controls Macbeth and tells him what to do next. When Macbeth was off at war, and told lady Macbeth that the witches greeted him as Thane of Cawdor, and King of Scotland before he received those titles, she was scheming on how to fulfill the titles before he returned home. Duncan names Malcolm to be next in line for king position. This infuriates Macbeth and once Lady Macbeth hears word of this, she plots a murder on King Duncan. Macbeth does not fully want to commit this act of betrayal towards his king and Lady Macbeth sees Macbeth’s wavering and ridicules his masculinity in order to make him commit murder. Act 1 scene 7 “how tender ‘tis to love the babe that milks me: I would, while it was smiling in my face, have pluck’d my nipple from his boneless gums and dash’d the brains out, had I so sworn as you have done to this” this quote from lady Macbeths states that, she would rather kill her own baby then go back on a promise.
The witches also contribute to Macbeth’s destructive path, while
