The complexity of each person can only be understood through a full analysis of one's character. But to fully understand someone you need to know about them. Throughout the play Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, we see Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's personalities drastically deteriorate. Macbeth is a Scottish general and the thane of Glamis. A "thane is a Scottish title of nobility, and Glamis is a village in eastern Scotland" (No Fear Shakespeare Macbeth the play plus a translation anyone can understand page ix). Macbeth is a valiant and noble warrior and stays and fights with his heart. But in his betrayal to King Duncan, under his wife's persuasion, we see his personality is severely altered. Macbeth is married to a woman of great strength and persuasion, Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth is a woman with deep ambitions and has a greed for power.

Yet I do fear thy nature.It is too full o’ the milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way. Thou wouldst be great; Art not without ambition, but without The illness should attend."(Act 1 scene 5 lines 15-20) Lady Macbeth is saying that Macbeth will be what he is promised but she doesn't know if he will do whatever it takes to get the crown.
