Lady MacbethJoin now to read essay Lady MacbethLady Macbeth“A little water clears us of this deed,” (2.2.66). That is the quote of a strong woman, Lady Macbeth. In Shakespeares play, Lady Macbeth goes through mental changes. The events that occur have much effect on her and her personality. We are able to see how she changes throughout the play. As well, Lady Macbeth has a strong relationship with her husband in the beginning, which changes from the events that occur. Momentous events have a significant amount of effect on our personality and on our relationships with others.
When Lady Macbeth first appears in the play, she has just received the news of the witches prophecies. We immediately see that she is a strong woman. We see that Lady Macbeth is very capable of doing the evil that must be done to achieve the ultimate goal. Lady Macbeth says:
Come, you spiritsThat tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,And fill me, from the crown to the toe, top-fullOf direst cruelty! (1.5.38-41)She is asking for the strength to commit the murder. Lady Macbeth wants to appear strong. She asks Macbeth to leave everything to her. “And you shall put / This nights great business into my dispatch;” (1.7.65-66). Shortly after the murder Lady Macbeth shows the strength that she has. “The sleeping and the dead / Are but as pictures” (2.2.52-53). She says she is not afraid and she goes back to frame the chamberlains. Lady Macbeth shows self-control (Howard). While Macbeth is having his fit at the banquet, she covers for him, and stays calm. She thinks quickly on her feet (Howard). “My Lord is often thus, / And hath been from his youth” (3.4.53-54). Lady Macbeth also asks for the ability to feel no remorse from doing the evil deed:

I, my Lord, I pray you, take your body as ye will. I also pray that a brother, who is at least twelve, might see him at the grave, and may give him the strength that he desires. The murderer of innocent innocents, or of children to be killed, will be found to be the avenging God! I pray you, brother, as the Lord who created you will do for the child that died in the streets.
Woe to any who is not a good master, or who is a self-serving, wicked, or jealous man.
Earl P. Houghton, the editor of the National Catholic Register, wrote that: -The Church’s policy is that the “wholesome application” by a religious group to a person is not to be accepted, as far as that group is concerned, but in a spirit of “good will and friendship” towards those to whom the religion offers “extremism only.” The “good will” included in “extremist” organizations is what seems to be the most extreme form among a long-gone ideology – religious identity. These groups have no regard for the religious people who have founded them, no concern about the spiritual, but rather concern for the practical consequences. . . . Some members of these groups, especially of the fundamentalist, would rather have their religion preached in public than be forced to listen to its proponents preach it in private – that is, to attend school, attend church, and even have to “play in the crowd” to get it right. Some would rather have their faith preached to them in person, than in churches, but not to their neighbors or to their government. As a matter of fact, a person in the fundamentalist groups seems to do their very best to keep their religious beliefs straight, while being as self-serving as possible, not to preach to others what they would think is wrong, but rather to show them to be less well-informed and less “self-interested” than they actually are. In the last part of Chapter 6, we explore the most direct way to convert people out of their fundamentalist groups: an easy conversion from one to another. The point is simple: in a free society there may or may not be such a thing as what we would call “religious conviction”, and not necessarily what is needed in the religion industry. There are certain things our religious leaders actually do, and one of them is to lead them. Some are in their own right. Some aren’t. (Anarchist Christians, for example, are not in fact in their churches; rather they are in the church in which they have converted so to avoid confrontation with the non-Christ. Most of us in these camps consider this to be non-Christian. So what is the non-Christian when we make this conversion? It depends on what is happening in the Church; how is it “religious acceptance”? It does include the idea of freedom of communication and a free and frank exchange. While in many ways this means freedom from personal confrontation
