Lady Macbeth To Blame Analysis

Imagine being a rich nobleman and being told one's future and then being told that the throne will be up for the taking. One would do anything for it, right? Even if it meant getting rid of anyone that stood in the way. Macbeth was that rich nobleman that didn’t let anyone get in his way to become king. He is seen as the one to blame for all the horrible events that went on in Shakespeare's entire play. Although, Lady Macbeth has played a major role in her husband’s life, Macbeth did not need much persuasion to kill Duncan, Banquo, and Lady Macduff along with her family. His visit with the three witches opened up a world where Macbeth could be powerful and have everything he ever wanted, mainly become king. Lady Macbeth has done a great
Macbeth was convinced that all the prophecies the three weird sisters have spoken of will definatly come true, “ All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!” said the first witch, “All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!” the second witch replied, “All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter” (Shakespeare, Act 1, Scene 3). It appears that Macbeth was set on making everything happen there was no stopping him. Lady Macbeth allied with her husband in order to gain power and rule all the lands. In the process of getting power Macbeth started to become scared of all the possible consequences, like getting murdered.

Macbeth does murder sleep’- the innocent sleep, Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care, The death of each day’s life, sore labor’s bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course, Chief nourisher in life’s feast” (Shakespeare, Act 2, Scene 2). It is evident that Macbeth cannot live with himself and what he has done, Lady Macbeth is proud of her husband and tell him that he has done the right things yet he continues to be afraid. Even though Lady Mac has been a huge impact in his life, Macbeth had planned everything out and didn’t need a giant push to make things happen like the murder of Duncan. It all comes back to the visit with the three witches, after Macbeth was told he will soon become king he became ruthless. He committed the crimes, he killed Duncan, Banquo, and Macduff’s family, Macbeth clearly wanted to do all of that. Yet Lady Macbeth had an effect on his choices. If it wasn’t for her not pushing Macbeth into killing Duncan, he wouldn't of had the courage to proceed with the others, Banquo and Lady Macduff along with her family.
