She seems to be missing all clement kind ness, when she trying to persuade Macbeth to commit the assassination. Macbeth hesitates on the night that the murder pull up stakes be make. He does not want to do it.Lady Macbeth persuades him, mocks his weakness, compensate suggesting that she having the cruelest of thoughts, the thoughts of killing their little baby. I would, while it was smiling in my face, impart pluckd my nipple from his boneless gums, And dashd the brains out, had I so sworn As you have done to this (1,7) Lady Macbeth wants to make him feel shamed and carry out the murder. The fact that she is trying to convince Macbeth to commit this horrible crime when he hesitates is very evil indeed.Macbeth murders Duncan, the fagot, in order to gain the throne. Macbeth decides to kill Duncan himself, even though Lady Macbeth is supportive and persuades him. After the murder he says I have done the deed. Didst thou not hear a note? (2,2) He have murdered with greed in mind, showing his butcher side of himself. Duncans death is especially barbaric because Macbeth killed him in his calm and the fact that Duncan was Macbeths guest and cousin and as well was considered a vast King. Macbeth soon realizes that he cannot stop at just killing Duncan.He understands that the one person who is more or less likely to threaten his position as King is Banquo. This is because he was present when the strange sisters gave Macbeth their prophecy, and can guess that Macbeth is guilty of murdering the King. Macbeth murdered his best friend, Banquo, for two different reasons. The witches predictions, that Banquos son is to mother king, and the fear about Banquos knowledge of his dirty crime. Macbeth assigns the three murderers to kill both Banquo and his son Fleance. Fleance his son, that keeps him company,Whose absence is no less material to me Than is his fathers, essential embrace the fate Of that dark hour. (3, 1) Banquo was Macbeths best friend and had done nothing wrong therefore must this act b e the most butcher-like from Macbeths side. Macbeth slaughtered Lady Macduff and her son, due to the predictions made by the witches. Another ensample of Macbeth being a butcher is when he hires the murderers to kill the family of Macduff, just in order to cause him pain. The castle of Macduff I will surprise sham upon Fife give to the edge o the sword His wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls (4, 1) To murder unobjectionable children and their mother is an exceptionally brutal act. Conclusion The butcher and his Fiend like queen as Malcolm refers to Macbeths in the end of the play, is an accurate way to describe Macbeth and his wife. Macbeth can be described as a butcher when he is involved in the murders of the King, Banquo, his best friend, and the family of Macduff. He murders innocent people, people he like, just to gain power.Lady Macbeth can be given the human action of a fiend-like queen when she intrigues to murder Duncan and can be seen just as a brutal murderer a s Macbeth because she is the brain behind the crime. Macbeth whitethorn not have murdered King Duncan without the support of his Fiend like queen, but Macbeth maid that choice and therefore he also chooses to rule in Hell rather than to serve in Heaven. This all came down to Macbeths greed and Lady Macbeths ambitions to become the King and Queen. Bibliography Shakespeare, W. (1990) Macbeth, Arden
