Lady Macbeth’s put downs display her determination to obtain the crown and power. Lady Macbeth pinpoints Macbeth’s manhood to persuade him to commit regicide so Macbeth will be unrightfully throned. Moreover, the determination to gain royal status, eventually lead Lady Macbeth and Macbeth to their deaths. To become king, Macbeth, under the strong influence of Lady Macbeth, commits regicide; however, shortly after the act, he doubts himself, “Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood/Clean from my hand?/No; this my hand will rather/The multitudinous dead incarnadine,/Making the green one red” (2.3.77-80). Macbeth’s guilt mentally scars him and taints him forever of this deed to gain unlawful power. Also, the murders Macbeth commits to remain King, haunts Lady Macbeth, causing her sickness and finally, resulting to her suicide. Under the sickness of sleepwalking, Lady Macbeth says, “Here's the smell of blood still: all the/perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand”
