The Manipulative Lady Macbeth in Shakespeare's Macbeth - Lady Macbeth is one of

William Shakespeares most famous and frightening female characters. As she is Macbeths
wife, her role is significant in his rise and fall from royalty. She is Macbeths other half. During
Shakespearean times, women were regarded as weak insignificant beings that were there to
give birth and look beautiful. They were not thought to be as intelligent or equal to men.
Though in Shakespeare's play, Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is the highest influence in Macbeths
life. Her role was so large; in fact, that she uses her position to gain power, stay strong
enough to support her unstable Lord, and fails miserably while their relationship falls apart....

Lady Macbeth in William Shakespeare's Macbeth - Shakespeare manipulates the
audiences opinions on whom was most responsible for the death of Duncan in many ways, I
feel he does this to create question and surprise to the play. Shakespeare leads you along
one path of thought, to then divert your thoughts onto another. Many people have different
opinions and interpretations to this play; A.C Bradley once wrote Lady Macbeth is the most
commanding and perhaps the most awe-inspiring figure that Shakespeare drew. Sharing, as
we have seen, certain traits with her husband she is at once clearly distinguished from him by
an inflexibility of will, which appears to hold imagination, feeling, and conscience completely
in check.... [tags: Macbeth Essays]
Ambition in "Macbeth" - In the play of Macbeth, Shakespeare gradually and effectively
deepens our understanding of the themes and most importantly the relationship between
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The main theme of Macbeth is ambition, and how it compels the
main characters to pursue it. The antagonists of the play are the three witches, who
symbolise the theme appearance and reality. Macbeth and Lady Macbeths relation is an
irony throughout the play, as most of their relation is based on greed and power. This is
different from most of Shakespeares other plays, which are mostly based on romance and
trust.... [tags: Ambition, Shakespeare, Macbeth]
The Negative Portrayal of Lady Macbeth in
Shakespeare's Play, Macbeth - Macbeth is a play in which

when he murdered King Duncan which he regrets

the guards which could've drastically changed the outcome

The Triumph of the Witches in MacBeth by William
Shakespeare - The Triumph of the Witches in MacBeth by
William Shakespeare There are many different characters in
MacBeth trying to accomplish different things for
themselves. However, in my opinion, the only characters
who really profited from and got what they wanted out of the
whole situation were the witches. They are the ones who
basically caused the majority of the problems in MacBeth
and I think that they knew what was going to happen the
entire time. Even though it may look as though they gained
nothing from everyone else's misfortune they actually
succeeded in making MacBeth do evil deeds and winning
him over to their side.... [tags: MacBeth]
