Compare and Contrast: Macbeth and Lady Macbeth Ambition, the world?s driving


force to achieve their goals. Ambition is a characteristic of human nature,


which, if expressed in an evil manner, can turn the entire person evil. Macbeth


and Lady Macbeth are great examples of these types of people. In William


Shakespeare?s Macbeth, they are torn apart due to their excessive hunger for


power. Both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have a driving ambition that turns each of


them into a spiral of guilt and evil. They are both very stubborn and set in


their ways this is proven when Macbeth does not want to change his mind about


killing Duncan. Their thriving ruthlessness combined is almost unstoppable, and


it is their fuel to commit the terrible deeds that they do. Though they are


similar in many ways, they also have many differences, which include the


changing of power throughout the play. The relationship between Macbeth and Lady


Macbeth is a very close but a rather strange one. There are a lot of things that


Macbeth does not understand about Lady Macbeth, that she knows about him, for


example, she knows his weakness of character and his strengths. At the beginning


of the play Lady Macbeth is the stronger of the two. Although it was the witches


who told Macbeth he will be king, it was Lady Macbeth who uses her art of


persuasion, and knowledge of Macbeths weaknesses, to make him kill the king.


Lady Macbeth uses persuasion, another factor that helps her over power Mac

beth,


from their first meeting and throughout the play. She also uses her knowledge


she has of him, to add to the task of persuading him, she knows how to get him


motivated. Due to Macbeth?s lack of knowledge of his spouse, he is unable to


prevent her. Many factors like persuasion and ambition are a big part in the


couple’s relationship. Macbeth starts to take control when he slaughters the


guards. Lady Macbeth was not ready for this and for a little while Macbeth is in


control of the situation. From that point, he goes from strength to strength and


plans the deaths of Banquo and Fleance. The only weakness shown there is that he


had to get hit men to do it, he could not kill his best friend himself. Macbeth


is in control and very powerful until the banquet scene. This is the last time


in the play that Lady Macbeth is able to become the more powerful of the two.


After the banquet scene Macbeth goes from strength to strength again, and having


Macduff?s family killed is a sign of this. When Macbeth consults the weird


sisters for the last time, they trick him to make him think that he will not be


overthrown by anyone. The communication between the couple is very strong at the


beginning but as the play progresses it alters and eventually breaks down. Well


Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are a very odd couple, despite all their differences


they still have many similarities which helps the relationship work out. If they


went so ambitious towards power, they might have ended up with a happy ending.
