     "I can resist everything except temptation." Since the beginning of humankind, temptation and pressure have been major factors in people’s decision makings. For example, in ancient Rome, mistresses usually influenced rulers on their political deciding. This is similar to Shakespeare’s MacBeth,  the case of  MacBeth and Lady MacBeth. Lady MacBeth wanted her husband to become king, but there was not an opening for that position. There was talk of a regicide between Banquo, MacBeth, and Lady MacBeth, but MacBeth soon disregarded it. Temptation was knocking on the door of Lady MacBeth and soon, she let it in and delivered it to MacBeth, threatening his manhood in order to light his fire. Constant temptation and pressure from his wife caused MacBeth to kill Duncan, the King of Scotland. Lady MacBeth is equally responsible for the murder that her spouse committed due to her constant pressure, her lack of an imagination, and her flat out greed.

However, when Lady MacBeth learned of the prophecy from MacBeth’s letter, a light went off in her head. She really wanted to be Queen so westward she looked. The seduction of her husband would acquire her a higher position in the kingdom. If she had not drove the idea of killing the king in the likes of MacBeth, it is believed that the murder would have never happened. On the whole, the threatening of a strong, self-conscious man’s manhood, and a lovely wife’s seduction will cause a male to do anything.The seduction turns the man into a zombie, causing him to do somthing bad, making the woman (or whoever) partially responsible for the dastardly deed. When you are hyptonized, it is hard to break away from the spell.

     Although she pressured and tempted MacBeth, she is also partially responsible for the ...
