Lady Macbeth's Power

A power that is left untamed will cause unnecessary wars . Like in the story The Tragedy of Macbeth, the leading lady, Lady Macbeth wants power. She begins to pull strings to ensure that what she wanted took place. Similar to Hindley in the story Wuthering Heights, who sought power to maintain Wuthering Heights. Some find it hard to believe that power could do so much damage. Lady Macbeth’s ambition caused so much death even though she never killed anyone physically. Her desire to be in control was so dominant it persuaded her husband to kill innocent people. Hindley’s desire to be in control caused problems even after he is long gone.

When the play opened up she had a deep and affectionate love for her husband. She seemed like your average

In the beginning, he was a noble man. He was the leader of the thanes, and he was loved. As the reader when we first started reading the play we got the feel of a soldier or hero rather coming back from a hard war. The reader would not expect him to act so savagely, but as the play progress, he becomes a wild man. He starts killing people for no reason and talking to himself. Lady Macbeth’s persuasion caused Macbeth to kill innocent people though she didn’t kill everybody she still can be considered a murderer because she played her sovereignty card and played with Macbeth’s mind, therefore that she had become linked to the murder even though she never laid a finger on anybody that was slain in the castle .

She gives him wine to make him and his attendants drunk and proceeds to do the deed. Later her will power caught up with her. She could not deal with herself, and she eventually commits

While all women enjoy being in control, to presume that to be the only way would be an invalid claim. The reality is that when power is grabbable everyone becomes ambitious, and for some, they encounter an ambition they never thought they had. For instance, In the story Wuthering Heights we have the Earnshaw family who lived comfortably.We have Hindley who is the oldest son in the Earnshaw family. He is angry at his father because of his love for Heathcliff. His father Mr. Earshaw, brought Heathcliff back home as an orphan and named him after his son who died. Hindley is angry not only because his father brought home another son, but as a thinker it raises a question of what emotional attraction he and the brother shared. Emily Bronte says “ The intrusion of an unwanted (by)other can greatly anger young Hindley”. After Mr. Earnshaw gets older he eventually dies, and Hindley ( Earnshaw’s son ) is now the heir to Wuthering Heights, and the anger that had festered started to come out. We also learned that while Hindley may have been hurt by his father's decision to take Heathcliff in. Hindley was also agitated because since his father adopted Heathcliff and demanded that Heathcliff is treated like he is one of the original Earnshaw it now meant that Heathcliff was threatening his power.
