It is difficult to describe a woman who pressures her husband into committing murder as a "good woman". Good people don't plan to murder old men in their beds.
Lady Macbeth is excited about it. Macbeth is of two minds: "This supernatural soliciting cannot be bad; cannot be good."
Lady Macbeth knows that Macbeth is a good man, a worthy, noble, good soldier. But she feels that he is too full of the 'milk of human kindness' (i know its meant to be a good thing, but the is the most eviliest woman in English literature we are talking about) , when it comes to killing the king. She questions his manliness, saying she is more of a man than he is. This is how she manages to convince Macbeth to kill Duncan(the king).
She provides a foil to Lady Macbeth. Also, because she is such a sympathetic character, we are the more horrified by her pointless murder. This helps reconcile us as an audience to Macduff's killing of Macbeth later. In Shakespeare's day, a good revenge always made for a good play.
Lady Macbeth tells the guests that this is just a strange habit Macbeth has. "Think of this, good peers, But as a thing of custom. 'Tis no other; Only it spoils the pleasure of the time."
Lady Macbeth plays a significant role in influencing Macbeth's actions and decisions, particularly in persuading him to commit regicide. However, ultimately, Macbeth is responsible for his own choices and decisions that lead to his downfall, as he chooses to listen to his own ambition and the prophecies of the witches. Lady Macbeth's influence is a contributing factor, but not the sole reason for Macbeth's fall.
She is 100% responsible for it. At the beginning of Act I Scene 7 Macbeth decides that it would do no good to kill the king. However, Lady Macbeth totally turns his decision around by playing on his masculinity and pride.
Lady Macbeth will become Queen of Scotland. The reason why she wants him to commit treason is for the benefit of her crafty self. When he becomes King she will become Queen. She is not thinking of anyone bar herself and she is using Macbeth to get to the throne. Macbeth sadly falls for his 'good' wife's idea and ends up committing a bad deed!
She thinks he is a valiant, noble, worthy, good, brave , ambitous soldier. But she thinks his flaw is have to much of the 'milk of human kindness'.
Lady Macbeth paints a picture of her husband as the weaker of the two of them. She laments that he may be too gentle in nature to do the deed she believes must be done. This may seem a bit much considering her husband is returning from a battle in which he victoriously put his enemies head on a pike. However, Lady Macbeth knows that, at heart, Macbeth is a good, and just man. She does not see that as a virtue, however. She sees it as a weakness that must be culled.
Lady Macbeth views Macbeth as ambitious but lacking the necessary ruthlessness to achieve his goals. She sees him as hesitant and cowardly, and believes she needs to manipulate and push him to take action in order to fulfill their ambitions.
That is a really deep question, a good one too. Quite hard to answer, though I hope this can assist you. In short terms, Macbeth is the weaker one after the murder, but in the long run is is LM who can't survive with what she has done. Macbeth finds a way to occupy himself, to forget as much as possible, while Lady Macbeth has been left behind, with nothing to do except think about the murder.
Yes Macbeth did hesitate to murder King Duncan, he went through allot of mental turmoil about this decision. In his soliloquy he gave good reasons for not wanting to kill Duncan 1)he is not a bad king 2) he is there in double trust. In the end Macbeth did not want to kill Duncan but it was Lady Macbeth's persuasion that caused him to commit the act. In comparison Macbeth had no hesitate in killing Banquo and Lady Macduff.
