To what extent do you believe Lady Macbeth is responsible for the tragedy of Macbeth? How might the direction of the play impact upon this?
The question of the essay, to what extent do I believe Lady Macbeth is responsible for the tragedy of Macbeth, makes it clear that she is the object which we study.

To answer this question, I first intend to outline how this will be looked at and then study the extent to which she is responsible.
