In this analysis‚ I will be comparing Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’‚ Robert Browning’s ‘The Laboratory’ and ‘Porphyria’s Lover’. All of these texts include one or more villainous characters. Lady Macbeth shows that she is a villain when she is persuading Macbeth to kill King Duncan. We see this in the quotation “When you durst do it‚ then you were a man”‚ in which she attacks his masculinity. “Look like the innocent flower‚ but be the serpent under’t” is an important quotation and can be related to the

for one will never cease to strive for it. After receiving the letter Macbeth sent to me about all that has happened‚ I realized this is a perfect opportunity to take charge in what needs to be done. Even though Macbeth desires power equally as much as I do‚ I feel that I am the more ruthless and conniving one. Macbeth seems to be too kind-hearted in nature and has a bit more of a solid conscience. I made sure however‚ that Macbeth understood that power is a difficult thing to achieve and everything

This is a clear example of how her ambitions have driven her to the point of evil acts to commit this crime. The act of

The two create a dynamic effect‚ making the novel unique

Shakespeare’s "Macbeth‚" we follow the story of Macbeth‚ a respectable soldier who slowly but surely has a fall from grace.

To start‚ let’s discuss Lady Macbeth and her ideas about masculinity and femininity. On page 35 in Scene 5‚ Lady Macbeth exclaims
