Detailed explanation-1: -Lady Macbeth is strong, ruthless, and ambitious. It is she who suggests to Macbeth that they should kill Duncan in order to make the witches’ prophecy come true. Seemingly more strong willed than Macbeth, she helps her husband recover from his fear after he kills Duncan, and helps the cover up.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the First Folio, the only source for the play, she is never referred to as Lady Macbeth, but variously as “Macbeth’s wife", “Macbeth’s lady", or just “lady"..
Detailed explanation-3: -Lady Macbeth was an extremely ambitious woman. She loved her husband deeply and wanted to see him as the King of Scotland. When she heard the prophecy of the third witch, she resolved to fulfill it by hook or by crook. She plotted the murder of the old King-Duncan.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lady Macbeth murmurs that she knows Macbeth is ambitious, but fears he is too full of “th’ milk of human kindness” to take the steps necessary to make himself king (1.5. 15).
