... But be the serpent under't." This urging causes Macbeth to possess Œblack and deep desires', which lead him to murder the king. She takes it upon herself to pressure him and therefore, her bold character is revealed. Macbeth's intentions would have been less serious if his wife was not more anxious than he was. She, more than her husband, is to blame for the death of King Duncan, due to her relentless pursuit of power and authority. Lady Macbeth is a heartless fiend with an savage disregard for life.
