Who Was Responsible For The Death Of Lady Macbeth

In William Shakespeare's Macbeth, while both Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are both responsible for the death of King Duncan, Lady Macbeth’s relentless coercion, through manipulative antics, incitement, and influence ultimately make her much more culpable. At the start, when Macbeth met up with Lady Macbeth, he at first didn’t want to kill King Duncan as King Duncan is a kind and honest man who is nothing but a good king. Even later, right before his death, Banquo tells Macbeth that Duncan, “...hath been in unusual pleasure, and sent forth great greatness to your offices. This diamond he greets your wife withal, by the name of most kind hostess, and shut up in measureless content.” (2. 1). The adage of the adage. We see firsthand Duncan’s kindness, as he was so pleased by the hospitality of Macbeth that he not only presented gifts to the servants of Macbeth’s castle, but Duncan also wished to give a diamond to Lady Macbeth for being such a great hostess.

7. The aforesaid aforesaid aforesaid aforesaid aforesaid aforesaid aforesaid aforesaid aforesaid aforesaid aforesaid aforesaid aforesaid afore Telling Macbeth that when he had first decided to kill King Duncan, he was acting as a man should, but now that Macbeth has second thoughts about killing the King, she tells him that he is not a man anymore. She goes even further to try and justify her point by telling Macbeth that, I have given up, and know how tender ’tis to love the babe that milks me. I would, while it was smiling in my face, have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums and dashed the brains out, had I so sworn as you have done to this.”
