Ambition
Create your own argument: Whose ambition is driving this killing of Duncan, really? It is clear that neither character is telling Duncan or Banquo how they really feel, but do they tell one another? Be sure to pick lines that show you both direct and indirect evidence for your argument.
It is clear that lady macbeths ambition is driving this killing of duncan. She is more into killing duncan that macbeth is. She feels as though her husband macbeth is a weak coward and she knows he will not kill duncan. "Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe top-full of direst cruelty." - lady macbeth. She said this because she wanted to be a man in order to kill the king because women in this time did not have the rights to do what men could do. macbeth said, "If it were dont when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly." he was unsure of making any action because he really didnt want to do it. Neither of the characters showed king duncan or banquo how they felt and they never told one another either.
