short bio
Macbeth's crazy wife, at first she seemed to be an ambitious woman who only seeked for power and perfection. She seemed to be more dominate and strong then Macbeth, she forces and "manipulated" him to kill Duncan, so he could be crowned king. After his death however, she appeared to be not so ruthless at all instead, she is brain-washed by all the bloody guilt to an even greater degree than her husband. She later comits suicide because she wants to get away from her guilt and sorrow.
