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

I do not feel sorry for Lady Macbeth because she was the one who encouraged Macbeth to kill Duncan which started the murder domino effect. In the beginning, Lady Macbeth persuaded Macbeth to kill Duncan because she was blinded by her desire for power. She not only encourages Macbeth, but also sheds her hands with Duncan’s blood. To cover up the murder, she accuses other innocent people for killing Duncan. She sparked the light of greed in Macbeth’s heart. Lady Macbeth, however, feels guilty about her action as the time goes by. She later began to sleep-walk because she suffers from her guilt and insecurity. On top of this, Macbeth stops discussing with her about his plans about prophecies. She later chooses to kill herself due to guilty feelings, worries, and fear of discovery. I cannot sympathize or feel sorry for Lady Macbeth because she deserves it. Bible clearly states that murder is a sin, so Lady Macbeth obviously should be punished.
