The Tragic Trajectory of Lady Macbeth

Lady Macbeth as one of the most potent and notorious Shakespeare's characters has underwent numerous discussions and analyses in trying to make sense of her violent and crude disposition. She had puzzled the critics for years some of which have described her as a monstrous, cruel and ambition-driven while others have taken a more sympathetic view labeling her as a frail woman aspiring to be diabolical. This essay sides more with the latter interpretation but its aim is to encompass the complexities of her persona rather than outline the ambivalence of it. It is an in-depth analysis of her appearances in the play in the chronological order noting the transformation she undergoes leading to her demise. I am focusing on the psychological characterization discussing both what is explicit in the text but taking into account also what is perhaps omitted in my efforts to reveal peculiarities of such a mystifying character.
