In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare‚ one character that I found particularly thought provoking was Lady Macbeth. Initially‚ she is manipulative and dominant in her relationship with Macbeth and she goads him into committing regicide but by the end she is powerless‚ desolate and stricken with guilt.

LADY MACBETH HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A FOURTH WITCH. DO YOU CONSIDER THIS TO BE FAIR JUDGEMENT? I disagree with the statement that Lady Macbeth is a fourth witch. This is because she displays many different characteristics to that of the witches. She is not naturally evil because she shows signs of guilt‚ unlike the witches.
