    tragedy is his marriage. Macbeth changed from good to evil from Lady Macbeths influence through manipulation and her dominance in her marriage role. From the beginning Lady Macbeth is viewed as very controlling‚ strong‚ and certain. “First‚ she has very little regard for her husband’s humanity and actually derides him for being "too full o’th’ milk of human kindness” (Thompson 1).
