    Lady Macbeth is a very manipulative and clever character, whose attributes and feelings change throughout the play. At the start of the script, she is a very driven and strong character, pushing her beloved Macbeth to go do the dark deeds that he needs to do to get to his eventual goal- to become king and rule all of Scotland. But little does he know that she isn’t doing it just for him- she wants the power more than anything else, to be able to rule and have it her way. Before the night of the murder, Lady Macbeth shows her drive behind her husband; “When you durst do it, then you were a man.” This is after her first try of pushing Macbeth to do the dirty deed of killing king Duncan, and where the not so strong opinionated Macbeth is having second thoughts. She taunts him with the thought of him not killing King Duncan would not make him a man, and admitting that she would even “dash’d the brains out” of her own child, to make him feel weaker, twisting his mind to make him do the crime. Using the harsh word of “dashing” gives the reader a strong and horrible picture in their head, of Lady Macbeth ruthlessly killing her own child by “dashing” its brains out and basically ripping it apart, showing her dedication and desperation for the role as Queen of Scotland and to her husband, but in a very gruesome and disgusting manner. It also shows her mad side that she would do that even to her own child, but I will explain further in the second paragraph.…

    Some of the most famous people in the world earned their fame because they had a strong ambition for the work they do. Although ambition can lead to wonderful things, there is such a thing as being too ambitious. This was likely the case for Macbeth, who used all the wrong methods to be the king. He did this by killing multiple people including King Duncan himself, who showed nothing but love to Macbeth. His inability to differentiate from reality and illusions from the witches also show how much he was blinded by his ambition. He wasn’t the only one that fueled his excess ambition, though Lady Macbeth plays a very significant part in that, somewhat like a devil on his shoulder.…
