Thesis: Lady Macbeth is the fiend-like Queen described by Malcolm at the end of the play.

1. Convincing Macbeth to kill Duncan "Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way. Thou wouldst be great Art not without ambition, but without The illness should attend it. What thou wouldst highly, That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false (Shakespeare, Act 1, 31)

2. Killing Duncan's guards Macbeth: "This is a sorry sight" (blood on hands) Lady Macbeth: "A foolish thought, to say a sorry sight." (Shakespeare, Act 2, 57)

3. Making Macbeth feel like it was not a big deal to kill the king "Consider it not so deeply." "These deeds must not be thought After these ways; so, it will make us mad." (Shakespeare, Act 2, 57) "How now, my lord, why do you keep alone, Of sorry fancies your companions making, Using those thoughts which should indeed have died, With them they think on? Things without all remedy, Should be without regard: what's done, is done." (Shakespeare, Act 3, 93)
