Shakespeare's Macbeth is not the first play we read in which women are described as mischievous. Starting from Lady Macbeth up to the witches and their prophecies. Lady Macbeth is Macbeth's wife, but she acts as if she is the man in the relationship. However, Lady Macbeth is an important and ambitious woman that we are not used to seeing, who really wants her husband to be king, and to achieve this she thinks it is right for him to commit murder. After Macbeth informs her of the witches' prophecy that he would eventually become king of Scotland, she does not hesitate to convince him to kill Duncan. Macbeth puts aside his doubts and stabs Duncan during the night while he sleeps. This immediately makes Macbeth assume that he is the king. Macbeth begins to see everyone as an enemy and therefore plans to kill anyone who might pose a threat to his possession of the kingship. Lady Macbeth's hunger for power led her to commit suicide even though she was not afraid. He sees blood stains on his hands. In the article “The Witches and the Witch: Verdi's Macbeth” the author agrees with Stephen Greenblatt's point of view “As Stephen Greenblatt points out, witches count for nothing. . . it is in fact extremely difficult to specify what, if anything, they do or even what, if anything, they are”. I agree with this point because the perspective people had towards witches was that they had supernatural powers, such as the ability to move quickly and see into the future, or change it depending on the situation. Nowadays there are some cultures that still practice witchcraft and still believe in black magic. Taken into consideration that there is a heaven and a hell, the existence of God and Satan. Macbeth is described… in the middle of the paper… a psychological disorder who after all becomes weak, feeling vulnerable to guilt, almost immediately after the murder “The crown was placed on her head, but it weighed heavier than lead. Among all his gains there were some things he did not count on, and among these were remorse and its black sequel of crushing years.” I agree with the author because Lady Macbeth was unable to avoid the situation she created “she had no way to escape her thoughts, no way to immerse herself in a course of action that would help keep the memory away of the past or to alleviate the present. It was her turn to suffer in silence and alone” Lady Macbeth: A Psychological Schetch.pg33. Based on the character of Lady Macbeth, I believe Shakespeare wants his audience to know that whatever mistakes you make, they will always haunt you, no matter how clear you think your conscience might be.
