The Dynamic Character In 'Macbeth' By William Shakespere

Improved Essays
In the play, “MacBeth” by William Shakespere, Lady MacBeth is a very dynamic character because she shows a very large change in character from being very ambitious and self serving to being guilty and resentful as proven in her prayer for her losing her womanlyness, her actions towards Duncan as she planned to kill him, and her suicide.

Towards the beginning of the play, Lady MacBeth hears from her husband about how Duncan stands in his way of becoming king. She knows that MacBeth likes the idea of being king but does not wish to go through with the murder. So, she sends out a prayer asking that the evil spirits take away her womanly ways and instead replace them with a bitter desire to obtain what she wants, so bitter in fact, that she finds no problem in slaughtering the man who stands in her and her husbands way.

She feels an intense guilt at being an accessory to murder that she slowly drives herself insane, as shown in her desparate attempt to relieve the floor of the blood stain. She arrives at this state of mind because of her own past thought on wishing for the ability to murder unabashedly as well as her wholehearted participation in the death of a friend and king as well as the rest of the devious plot the MacBeth's had plotted and carried out. As she goes insane, she finds that she cannot take the though of guilt any more, and presumably kills herself. If she does not kill her self, one is led to believe that her insanity led to her being killed in some other
