How have Macbeth and Lady Macbeth reversed roles by the end of the play?

In Act 1, Lady Macbeth is the planner, the one who is dragging her reluctant husband into committing one murder. But by Act 4, Macbeth commits murder after murder and Lady Macbeth is the reluctant one, nauseated and consumed with guilt by the bloodshed. The roles actually reverse much earlier in the play, when Macbeth kills the grooms. That was not in Lady Macbeth's plan, and she is horrified by it.

How is Lady Macbeth stronger then Macbeth?

At the beginning of the play Macbeth feels unsure and guilty about killing King Duncan - he is supposed to be loyal towards him! Lady Macbeth plans Duncan's death without asking Macbeth first and tells him what to do. At first she is not guilty about killing him, she wants to be the stronger more manly one. After his death, guilt haunts Macbeth. However, by the end of the play the two characters have effectively swapped roles. Lady Macbeth is now driven crazy by guilt and ends up committing suicide because of it. Macbeth on the other hand is the strong powerful one, he now kills without feeling anything!

Who was more responsible in the marriage of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth?

Macbeth and his wife most likely were equally conscientious in carrying out their separate resonsibilities in the marriage. The play would lead readers and viewers to think of Macbeth as the breadwinner, and Lady Macbeth as the household manager. But it would appear that Lady Macbeth didn't confine herself to household responsibilities. She appeared to involve herself in her husband's responsibilities as the officer of a successful military career. Indeed, her husband appeared to consider her as his confidante and advisor in personal and professional matters. And so it would seem that, in terms of the overall direction of the marriage and career moves, Lady Macbeth held the greater responsibility.


How is the theme of Macbeth destruction?

Macbeth shows it through his tyranny,murders and his eagerness to see the witches again. Lady Macbeth shows it when she turns mad nearing the end of the play and her death. ('out damn spot! out, i say!') the spot thing is a direct quote from the play, it has no intention to be offensive or anything.
