It was agreed that they were both equally guilty. I challenged this idea by expressing that Lady Macbeth is morally sound on every account and that if she contributed anything at all‚ it was about 10% of the actual problem. Although there was disagreement after that notion‚ I emphasized that there were a lot of dark

(Shakespeare 853). “If I be waspish‚ best beware my sting‚” sneered the other (Shakespeare 333).

O’‚ why has my Lady cried out? Why must she grow frail and bent‚ feverishly consumed with such terrifying thoughts night and day? Her delusion must be of another tragedy from the past; that damned spot she had said‚ with blood too! Of course‚ I have my suspicions that such an event would ensue in the passing away of Duncan.
