Shakespeare’s "Macbeth"‚ we see a lot of evil; we see evil people and we see evil acts. We can see that - almost - everyone has an evil desire within them. However‚ only a really evil person acts on that impulse and commits something morally wrong. An evil deed doesn’t necessarily mean an evil soul; Lady Macbeth was not naturally evil.

Lady Macbeth Lady Macbeth of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth‚ is a familiar character even to those that have never read the play.

I deem Macbeth to be guiltier than Lady Macbeth. Factually‚ Macbeth is shown to be more sensitive than Lady Macbeth‚ because Lady Macbeth seems to be very inclined when proposing Macbeth to assassinate King Duncan; while Macbeth seems to be unsure and tensed about the idea.

Step 1: Character interpretation The interpretation I get from this particular scene. Is that of a paradox because it shows just how slimily Lady Macbeth truly is. She is showing extreme affection to Macbeth‚ meanwhile she is forcing Macbeth to kill Duncan at the same time. She is also filling his mind with thoughts of her always being by his side. When really she only wants to be queen. Whether it be by the darkness in the room‚ or by Lady Macbeth’s bossy tone‚ you can tell she has other motives
