Is Lady Macbeth guilty for murdering King Duncan?
Is Lady Macbeth guilty of murdering King Duncan? In my opinion, Lady Macbeth is guilty. In my argument we will look at reasons why Lady Macbeth is innocent and guilty. Lady Macbeth is guilty because she was overheard talking with Macbeth about murdering King Duncan. From this, she was heard threatening Lord Macbeth to kill King Duncan, she was also heard to argue that she would assassinate King Duncan if Lord Macbeth would not. Furthermore, she made the guards sleep so they can no longer protect King Duncan, so Lord Macbeth could kill King Duncan. On the other hand, you could blame the guards for napping on the job. They chose to get drunk and eat the meal, Lady Macbeth was not force feeding them. Lady Macbeth was also rewarding them for their hard work of protecting King Duncan, the guards could have tried to stay awake. They also the ones to blame for having the murder weapons and the blood, there is enough evidence to suggest that the guards are the murderers and Lady Macbeth is innocent. In my conclusion, Lady Macbeth is guilty for threatening Lord Macbeth and forcing him to kill King Duncan, even though she did not murder King Duncan, she let King Duncan die by making the guards sleep. Lady Macbeth, which forced the murder, is also guilty for rubbing her hands. She felt she had guilt which suggests that she feels guilty. By Daivam.
