    and even in plays. In Act 1 of Macbeth you can see how easily one’s internal thoughts can be completely different from the facade that they put up front.

    "Come‚ you spirits; That tend on mortal thoughts‚ unsex me here…" In Macbeth‚ William Shakespeare writes this passage in order to tell us about the character of Lady Macbeth. Using only this line‚ we can almost determine Lady Macbeth’s personality and her motives. Up to the point where this quote leaves off‚ we have not heard much of Lady Macbeth.

Some may say that the weird sisters within the play are responsible for the actions of Macbeth and that his wife‚ Lady Macbeth‚ acted as a catalyst to persuade and manipulate Macbeth to commit regicide‚ but truly all they did was simply put thoughts into his head. They set the play in motion but Macbeth is fully responsible for his own

    writers ever‚ I’ve always had an issue with his play Macbeth. When I first read it in seventh grade‚ I decided that maybe I didn’t like it because I simply didn’t get it‚ being a seventh grader; however‚ after recently rereading it in an attempt to change my mind and see a new side to the book‚ I found my opinion unchanged. While clearly famous for its portrayal of the consequences of unchecked ambition and its commentary on the human experience‚ Macbeth fails to properly address women. Unless the lack

    This statement rings true in William Shakespeare’s tragedy of character‚ Macbeth‚ as many characters’ downfalls occur as a result of their own vices. The most prominent of these flawed people is Lady Macbeth whose excess of success in manipulation is what ultimately causes her downfall. Unlike all other characters in this play‚ Lady Macbeth’s downfall begins the moment she enters into the plot. The audience first meets Lady Macbeth when she receives Macbeth’s letter telling her of his new title. Instead
