The Downfall of Lady Macbeth

     Macbeth is a play full of magic, mystery, and murder.  The variety of
plots, as well as the interesting characters, force the reader to pay full
attention at all times.  Unfortunately, one of these characters is a victim of
her own imagination. Although Lady Macbeth adds much positive flavour to the
play, her character is revealed through her aggressive attitude with her husband,
her inhumane disregard for life, and her guilty conscience.

        Lady Macbeth is very assertive when dealing with her husband's

This is evident in the manner in which she downplays the murder of Duncan to her

           How easy is it, then!  Your constancy
           Hath left you unattended...
           Get on your night-gown, lest occasion call us,
           And show us to be watchers.  Be not lost
