Lady Macbeth Deceitful, Manipulative, Sinful: Lady Macbeth The book Macbeth by William Shakespeare is about a general in King Duncan’s army, Macbeth. He meets three witches, who foretell that he will be made Thane of Cawdor and eventually King of Scotland. He finds that the first prophecy comes true and becomes excited about the second one coming true. He waits but becomes impatient and with the push of his wife, he murders the king to come into power. In this play Shakespeare uses Lady Macbeth to show that ambitious, lying, manipulative people don’t finish first, to say the least. Lady Macbeth was a severely manipulative and deceitful character. It is shown throughout the play that, to further her own powers and position, she will deceive and change people. At the party of the new kings crowning, her husband, she lied about her husband’s infirmity so that he would not be considered to be ill suited to stay king. Her deceit might have even assisted MacDuff to cause her husbands murder.
