He never makes a large attempt at “taking over’’ or trying to rule but the word that he will be getting the crown at the Ides of March is enough to motivate him to go.

    In my view‚ Lady Macbeth is far worse than Macbeth. Although they both think of murdering King Duncan as soon as they hear the witches’ prophecies‚ Macbeth thinks more about what he may or may not do‚ whereas Lady Macbeth immediately appeals to evil spirits to give her the strength to kill Duncan.
