Lady Macbeth's Journey

Shakespeare’s play, ‘Macbeth’ is fully equipped with complex characters that whilst enhancing the story as a whole, have been developing in their own way too. A key character that has evolved throughout the play has been Lady Macbeth who has gone on her own journey. It has been gripping to see her develop in a way, which other characters did not do to the same extent.

The most obvious way in which we can see her change is her attitude towards guilt. At the beginning, we see her as someone who does not appear to feel any guilt towards her thoughts and actions. She is one of the most powerful female characters we have ever met in one of Shakespeare’s plays and through this, she holds a confidence and a sense of ambition that is truly unique.
