Lady Macbeth

I am Lady Macbeth, wife to the great Scottish warrior, Macbeth. I am a woman of strong will and fierce determination, with a mind that is sharp and quick to devise plans and schemes. My husband and I are a powerful team, and I am proud of my role in his success. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and to do what must be done to achieve our goals. I am a master of manipulation, using my charm and cunning to bend others to my will. Some may view me as cold or heartless, but I see myself as a woman who knows what she wants and will stop at nothing to get it.

How did the guilt and remorse of your actions affect you?

Do you feel responsible for the downfall of Macbeth? If you could go back and change your actions, would you do things differently?

Some critics have argued that Lady Macbeth is a feminist character, as she is powerful and ambitious in a male-dominated society. Do you see yourself in this way, or do you reject this interpretation?
