Macbeth, Shakespeare’s shortest and bloodiest tragedy, tells the story of a brave Scottish general (Macbeth) who receives a prophecy from a trio of sinister witched that one day he will become king of Scotland. Consumed with ambitious thoughts and spurred into action by his wife, Macbeth murders the King and seizes the throne for himself. ... The bloodbath swiftly propels Macbeth and Lady Macbeth to arrogance, madness, and death.
So who is responsible for Macbeth’s terrible crimes? Lady Macbeth, Banquo and indeed Macbeth’s own ambitions all deserve a portion of the blame, however it is the three witches who are ultimately responsible for Macbeth’s corruption.
Macbeth’s wife, Lady Macbeth, is one of Shakespeare’s most forcefully drawn female characters. ...
She seems to be fully aware that she is the dominant partner in the relationship and that she has to push Macbeth into committing murder. ... Lady Macbeth manipulates her husband with remarkable effectiveness, overriding all his objections; when he hesitates to murder, she repeatedly questions his manhood until he feels that he must commit murder to prove himself.
