    plots a series of murders to secure his throne‚ and moments of terrible guilt (as when Banquo’s ghost appears) and absolute pessimism (after his wife’s death‚ when he seems to succumb to despair). These fluctuations reflect the tragic tension within Macbeth: he is at once too ambitious to allow his conscience to stop him from murdering his way to the top and too conscientious to be happy with himself as a murderer. As things fall apart for him at the end of the play‚ he seems almost relieved—with the

    The main feeling Lady Macbeth evokes in the reader is that she is in control. She is in control of Macbeth and she is in control of the plan to kill King Duncan. “…the fatal entrance of Duncan under my battlements”.
