Who is More Tragic Macbeth or Lady Macbeth?
Macbeth, written by Shakespeare, is a work that presents to the reader with great care the possible states of emotion and behavior of human existence. There are two important points throughout the book. Firstly, Every person has a mask on his or her face and we cannot be sure what they feel in heart. Our second important point is that man has both dark and light desires. One must be able to rein in one's own ambitions or desires for these desires to arise. Undoubtedly, Macbeth does not restrain these ambitions and tries to increase his popularity by all and increase his position. He has started the chain of events that will lead to murder of the king because of combining with Lady Macbeth’s desire and ambition. Macbeth, who took the crown of the kingdom to his head in a bloody act, again loses his crown and throne along with blood and his head just like Lady Macbeth. Macbeth tells us about the darkness of a terrible storm. My aim is to discuss who is more tragic Macbeth or his wife in this darkness.
In Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are depicted as two needy creatures enduring terrible grief. Both of them will die in pain because of hard times. How did their desires blind their eyes? How did Lady Macbeth, who wanted Macbeth to kill the king with a fierce desire, finally go mad with screaming? Two painful stories for the same reason remind us of the question of which is more tragic. In my opinion, Macbeth is more tragic than Lady Macbeth because Macbeth has more pain and grief in the whole play. On the one hand Lady Macbeth’s life is reflected as if it doesn't matter. In the play, she is described as ineffective element. For example, The Gentlewoman sees Lady Macbeth sleepwalking in the play. She has open eyes, but she's confused. She appears already to be dead in a way. On the other hand Macbeth is obsessed with the witches ' prophecies. His passion is immoral. Ambition is the fatal mistake of Macbeth that finally destroys him in the end. He struggles for his kingdom till the bitter end. That's the main reason it's more tragic than Lady Macbeth. While Lady Macbeth copes with her conscience, Macbeth cannot give up his struggle. Actually, they’re not much different. The Macbeths are a team: I don't think you're able to distinguish the two. We witness that they are together as killing Duncan. They have the same plan to kill victims but they feel pain and die separately. It's hard to decide which is more tragic, but I think that's what Shakespeare wants. The author's goal is to be the reader indecisive and get into dead ends, just as he did to the characters in his works.
As a result, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are completely free to use their will in the wrong or the right way as they wish. That's why Lady Macbeth has lost her mind, facing her own crime. Macbeth continues to act under the control of his desire for a while. A person's desire and ambition will gnaw at him and his life. Until something that happened in his life suddenly changed his structure, made him almost reborn, and made him see the unity of everything clearly and definitively. We must move away from our endless ambitions or somehow we will become the most ridiculed characters of this terrifying tragic world.
