First he kind of felt bad but Lady Macbeth ended up calling him a coward because he didn’t really want to go through with it. But she manipulated him by calling him names. That’s how they ended up going through with the plan. She questions his manhood; “When you durst do it, then you were a man.” (1.7.49) Catherine ended up not eating for three days because she was dying and Edgar didn’t seem to care. So obviously it bothered her a lot. She did it to get him to feel sorry for her. Then Catherine said to Edgar, “I don’t want you Edgar; I’m past wanting you”. Sadly around the time she was on her deathbed, she finally wanted to tell Heathcliff that she loved him. She said, “I won’t rest until you [Heathcliff] are with me.” (Bronte chap
Edgar and Heathcliff who comes from two different worlds. Catherine’s love is going to cause violence amongst these men. She has the power to break down the willpower of these men.

Macbeth has already shown his respect to King Duncan earlier in the play so that makes it harder for him commit the murder.

What not upon his spongy officers, who shall bear the guilt of our great quell?”
There are a lot of parts of the play Macbeth that were very important throughout the play. Macbeth was a very dangerous guy after the witches told him that he will become the king of scotland. That led to Macbeth killing a lot of people and having their workers or guardians making killing people and their families. The most important part of the play of Macbeth was when Macbeth walked into the king 's room with the bodyguards in the room, but they didn 't notice Macbeth because they were to drunk to notice him.. So when they found the king dead in his bed.
Macbeth had another chance to change his outcome. his wife was consumed with the idea that he would become king, so much so that she pushed him to kill the current King. She said she couldn 't do it because King Duncan looked too much like her own father. Macbeth could have easily dismissed this and not listened to his mentally dwindling wife, “Come, thick night, and pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell, that my keen knife see not the wound it makes, nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, to cry ‘hold, hold!’” He followed the instructions of his wife and killed the king.
After returning from her five-week stay at the Grange, Catherine has changed in how wild and free she is. Cathy is much more reserved and concerned with her appearance, wearing fancy dresses and doing her hair nicely. Nelly says about Catherine upon her return, “When the dogs came bounding up to welcome her, she dare hardly touch them lest they should fawn upon her splendid garments” (pg 56). This instance and her reactions to Nelly and Heathcliff’s filth both show Catherine’s change, because before her time at the Grange, she wouldn’t’ve cared about getting dirty. Before, she and Heathcliff preferred to be dirty, but now Cathy is concerned with staying clean which alienates Heathcliff because he feels that she is no longer “his” Cathy.
In our world, manipulation takes place in everyday life as a natural impulse for both men and women. In Macbeth, manipulation is centralized around the mask of ambition displaying dominance over humanity. Certainly the witch’s, Lady Macbeth, and our fallen hero Macbeth become puppets of Manipulation it self. Consequently the witch’s power to influence decision-making causes the initial deterioration of Macbeth, along with Lady Macbeth’s influential desire for the throne, and thus Macbeth use of manipulation to create a new embodiment of a mask suffused in ambition for his own cruel deeds.

Macbeth even kills the chamberlains himself, again to put up an appearance. He wants it to seem like he was so outraged that they killed Duncan that he killed them in return when in reality it was Macbeth who killed all three people. After committing these crimes, Macbeth gets what he wants – to be king. However, he ignores reality to do these things.
Firstly, when Catherine leaves to go to the Linton’s house, she left her place beside Heathcliff and suffered because of it. She realized that her “misery arose from the separation” that became of years ago “between [her] and Heathcliff.” Consequently, she became “the wife of a stranger: an exile, and outcast, thenceforth, from what had been [her] world.” (Bronte, 92) Her choice to marry Edgar took her away from her home and love in Wuthering Heights to Thrushcross Grange, a place that cannot make her
