Macbeth: Lady MacBeth

     Lady MacBeth is one of Shakespeare's greatest and most intriguing female
characters.  She is evil, seductive, and witch-like all at the same time.
However, during the play we see her in two different ways.  At the time when we
first meet her, she is a brutally violent, power wanting witch, and later on she
turns to a shameful suicidal grieving woman.

     At the beginning of the MacBeth, Lady MacBeth is very savage and vicious.
She thinks nothing of killing King Duncan.  She has no sense of what is wrong
and right, and believes that it is perfectly moral to do the deed of murder.
She states that to not go through with the deed would be horrible to yourself,
and that you would be a coward in your own eyes.

        "Wouldst thou have that which thou esteem'st the ornament
        of life, and live a coward in thine own esteem,"

She states that if she was MacBeth and did not jump at this perfect opportunity,
that if a child, being fed at her breast, where as Duncan is, king, she would
tear it from her and "dash'd the brains out" to have the opportunity MacBeth
does.  This shows how mad and sadistic she was.  She had absolutely no self-
conscience, and thought nothing about the wrong they were soon to commit.

     Later on, after the murders, she, unlike MacBeth, still shows no signs
of a conscience.  She is very cool and collected, while MacBeth hallucinates and
goes temporarily mad.  Lady MacBeth on the other hand, takes everything calmly.
She takes the daggers back to the King's room, smears blood on the drunken
guards, and attempts to destroy all evidence of MacBeth ever being there.  She
knows what needs to be done and does it without any hesitat...
