1. Do you feel sorry for Lady Macbeth? Why or why not?

- No. She deserves to be punished. She was the one who allured Macbeth to kill King Duncan. Macbeth was not a monster in the beginning but Lady Macbeth constantly pulled Macbeth to kill King Duncan. Series of bad events happened after the murder and all the horrible consequences might have avoided if Lady Macbeth did not make Macbeth kill the King. We can say Lady Macbeth was the one who created a monster by questioning his manliness. She made all the plans to kill the king and even returns the daggers after Macbeth kills the king, getting her hands dirty with the blood. This was the start of all the murders that happened after and Lady Macbeth holds great responsibility over this just like Macbeth. By looking at her actions and all the consequences that followed after the murder, I can hardly feel sorry for Lady Macbeth, however, I do feel sorry for her in some ways. Human beings are not perfect and we make mistakes every time because we are not God. God made us imperfect so that we can learn and develop, if He made us perfect we would be living in utopia like heaven. Thus, Lady Macbeth just made one terrible mistake and that mistake destroyed her life. She regrets her actions and this is evident in which she tries to wash off her hands when she is sleepwalking and says she cannot wash off the blood on her hands. This tells us that she is truly regretting her mistake and that she is responsible for all the deaths that followed after the murder of King Duncan. I feel sorry for Lady Macbeth because she regrets her mistakes but ends her life by herself because she wanted to end all things. The greed made her make stupid mistakes and led her to self destruction and this is why I feel sorry for her because she was just chasing after the common temptation that anyone has. Human beings try to have power and authority over others because it is embedded in our DNA. Sometimes if one is too greedy, the greed might destroy oneself like Lady Macbeth but she chose death to get rid of the pressures which is sad. Thus, I don’t feel sorry for Lady Macbeth because she is the one who made Macbeth to kill King Duncan but I feel sorry for her because she was just chasing after the common goal of human being to have power.
