Throughout the tragedy of Macbeth, we watch two people attempt to gain power and glory through various dastardly actions. It can be argued that Lady Macbeth is responsible for triggering the slide into this inevitable situation that led to their descent. From the moment Macbeth became aware of his “destiny,” Lady Macbeth began to form her own imaginary world in which her evil plans seemed likely to be effective. The idea of ​​her and her husband being royalty makes her reject rationality, and while immersed in his corrupt intentions, she exerts great influence over Macbeth himself. Over the course of the play, his personality is subjected to a gradual and degrading transformation that leads to his demise. This essay will examine the character of Lady Macbeth and how the use of imagery contributes to her representation throughout the play.

I've never experienced it, at least not without taking drastic measures.

This attempt had disastrous consequences that led her to a dead end, suicide being her only and last chance to escape. Perhaps if Lady Macbeth had not taken the words of the three witches seriously, she most certainly would have saved her husband and herself from their otherwise inevitable downfall. Without a deeper and deeper immersion in his dark thoughts, Lady Macbeth and Macbeth would have continued to be a couple for years..
