When all once beloved to her.
Personality[]
Lady Macbeth's personality is ambitious and ferocious. She is shown to be both ruthless and callous, "Consider it not so deeply", "Come you spirits/ That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here / And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full / Of direst cruelty" She challenges many of the traditional stereotypes of the role of women, namely, being weak and soft. Eventually, similar to Macbeth, she begins suffering from the guilt of Duncan's murder. On numerous occasions she is seen attempting to wash her hands of the deed and eventually her headstrong personality wears out and she is left insane, then killing herself from her self-inflicted mental health issues.
