This is Shakespearian tragedy at its best.

After being assured by the three witches that he was essentially immortal, that he would live a charmed life, Macbeth's desire for power, urged on more so by his wife's desire to be queen, sends him on his grizzly mission. The play places Lady Macbeth squarely in the driver's seat of the skullduggery, and sees them both dead in the end.
