Lady Macbeth

Detailed explanation-1: -Three witches tell the Scottish general Macbeth that he will be King of Scotland. Encouraged by his wife, Macbeth kills the king, becomes the new king, and kills more people out of paranoia.
Detailed explanation-2: -The witches’ first prophecy comes true and King Duncan makes Macbeth Thane of Cawdor. When King Duncan visits Macbeth’s castle, Lady Macbeth persuades Macbeth to murder King Duncan in his sleep to make the second prophecy come true.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macbeth chose to kill King Duncan on his own accord. His wife Lady Macbeth may have helped him come up with the plan and urged him on, it was his own hand that held the knife. Although without the witches there to inform Macbeth that one day he would be king, he may have gone down a completely different path.
Detailed explanation-4: -Then she hatches a plan: they’ll wait until Duncan’s asleep, get his servants drunk, kill the king in his bed, and blame it on the servants. Sounds good to Macbeth-he commits to the plan.
