''Tis safer to be that which we destroy, / Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.'

The above quotation shows how Lady Macbeth is portrayed to be strong willed. We later find out that this infact is not the case. We can see here that she would rather kill than be killed. Ultimately, we find out from her subconscious mind that she regrets her crimes. She ends up committing suicide out of guilt.
Lady Macbeth was a cunning woman. it was she who instigated her husband primarily and manipulated him to commit a hedious crime; the murder of Duncan. Lady Macbeth starts of as a persuasive manipulating woman, but eventually she becomes mad and apparently commits suicide. In the beginning of the play she is telling Macbeth what to do, but in the end Macbeth tells her what to do. Some might say that she feels guilt for her crime, on the basis of the sleepwalking scene, but also disappointment in the result of the murder ("Desire's had without content") and her Horror at the change the crime has made in her husband must be considered as factors.
