Answer:
Lady Macbeth has a strong influence on her husband. She wants Macbeth to succeed and even created a plan to help him kill the king. Even offering to do it herself, she was always in full support of Macbeth, her husband, encouraging him to continue on. Even when Macbeth himself was hesitating, she was there telling him to go forth with killing the King, as she planned and worked behind the scenes to help Macbeth. Lady Macbeth says things such as, "It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness/ To catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great./ Art not without ambition, but without/ the illness should attend it. What thou wouldst highly"(1.5.1) This reveals how much resolve Lady Macbeth has, and shows her as an ambitious person. She thinks that Macbeth should kill the king, but thinks that he is too kind and needs to be more aggressive. Things bring her forth as almost a ruthless character. Lady Macbeth is seen as witch as well through her evil nature. In page 2 of act 1 scene 5, she says, "Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood./ Stop up the access and passage of remorse./ That no compunctions visiting of nature." In this Lady Macbeth explains that she will go through with her evil plan and she feels no remorse for what has to be done.
