The Reasons Why Macbeth Is More Guilty By His Actions Then Lady Macbeth Is
By Hers.
Macbeth is a very exciting story containing all kinds of plots and murders.
The characters that are killing and are planning murders are all very
deceiving and treacherous. Two of the most dangerous criminals in this play
are Lady Macbeth and her husband. Together they commit the most dreadful
murder by killing the King; Duncan. This is why it is difficult to
determine which one of these two is more guilty, because they each do their
own part in committing the crime. Lady Macbeth would prepare the plan and
then encourage Macbeth to go through with it. Macbeth did the actual
murdering, he was also the first person who thought about killing Duncan.
Furthermore he did some killing on his own. Lady Macbeth did not have any
involvement in these cases. Based on these facts, Macbeth would be found
more guilty than Lady Macbeth.
The very first murder in this story was committed on Duncan. This crime
was planned by both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The actual murder was done by
Macbeth, making him more guilty of the crime. Lady Macbeth just talked
about committing the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor
would she ever, and that is all that counts. Talking about committing the
incident is very different from actually doing it. Lady Macbeth did a
little more than just talk about it though. She also urged Macbeth into
doing it and that is what makes her part of this crime, but she is not as
guilty as Macbeth. He really didn't have to listen to what his wife said.
Macbeth had a mind of his own and he could make his own decision. The
other murders that Macbeth was involved in were not committed by him, but
were ordered by him. The people who did the killing had no choice, they had
to do it, because they worked for Macbeth. Macbeth knew this and was a bit
more guilty in these murders then lady Macbeth was when she urged him. The
idea of killing Duncan first came from Macbeth. Macbeth listened to the
witches prophecies that said he would become King. Macbeth did not want to
wait any longer and he thought the only way to become King was to kill the
present King; Duncan. Macbeth later told Lady Macbeth about this and she
just wanted to help him and do whatever she could for him, so that he would
be happy and be King. She was also excited about becoming queen.
