Lady Macbeth is Crazy



This is my second time reading Macbeth and I have to say that I am enjoying it more this time around. Part of that comes from listening to the amazing voices from the Folger’s Shakespeare app, but either way. I never fully appreciated the character that is Lady Macbeth, she is quite gutsy. It is because of Lady Macbeth that Macbeth even seriously considering killing King Duncan. As soon as she hears that there is a possibility her husband could become king, she has already planned the murder in her head.

Lady Macbeth sees her husband as this wimpy fellow simply because he is not willing to do what needs to be done to make himself king. Macbeth almost backs out of the plan to murder to Duncan because his loyalty to him begins to get the best of him. When Lady Macbeth hears that he is not going to kill Macbeth she flips outs. She believes that if he is unable to kill Duncan, then he should not be able to see himself as a man.

She is quite a strong woman and if she was not trying to get to the throne by killing the current king, she would be an interesting queen to have. She seems to have a lot more guts than Macbeth does, but in a dangerous way. In a way that if she was given too much power, then she might just be willing to abuse it.
