Is Lady Macbeth really the fiend like monster described by Malcolm? - Shakespeare

...

thou have that which thou esteem’st the ornament of life, and live a coward in thine own esteem, letting ’I dare not’ wait upon ’I would, ’like the poor cat i’ th’ adage?” (Act and scene?)

Also, Lady Macbeth will do anything and everything to achieve her goals. She is willing to put herself at risk. When Macbeth does not have the courage to bloody the guards, she is willing to go herself to get the job done, “Infirm of purpose! Give me the daggers: the sleeping and the dead are but as pictures: ’tis the eye of childhood that fears a painted devil. If he do bleed, I’ll gild the faces of the grooms withal; for it must seem their guilt.”(Act and scene) So, it may be observed that Lady Macbeth’s greed pushes her to commit evil crimes in order to obtain what she wants.

In conclusion, Lady Macbeth is totally evil; she is, in fact, the fiend like Queen described by Malcolm because she is manipulative, cruel and corrupted by greed. She does nothing to redeem herself as she acts only in her own best interest. When the audience reads this play, they all start pointing out how evil Macbeth is, but they forget that it is, in fact, Lady Macbeth that is the puppet master that makes him act with such violence. Without Lady Macbeth, Macbeth might not have killed the king and there would not be a conflict in the play. And a play without conflict is no play at all. So really, without the evil in Lady Macbeth, there is no play.
