On one side Macbeth is a good person. On the other side he is full of greed. Any man who is willing to kill to get what he wants is considered to be greedy. Lady Macbeth will do what ever it takes to get what she wants. She does not really care what other people want or need. She messed up her husbands conscience because she wanted to be queen. They care about eachother but Lady Macbeth to an extent because any woman who questions her mans strength is not a good woman at all.

Macbeth was a good and honorable person. Macbeth was the kind that strived and worked for his many achievements, but on the otherhand his wife, Lady Macbeth, was not. Lady Macbeth connived, lied, snuck her way to power and taking her enemies down with one strike. They have become Bonnie and Clyde. Lady Macbeth does not believe in her husbans inner and outer strengths, so she decides to take control and run things herself. She is not a good wife nor woman and Macbeth is not a man if he lets his wife make him kill others just to gain power.

Some of the basic values of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are that, Macbeth is a very greedy person and only thinks of himself. As Lady Macbeth is a connivinning women and does whatever it takes to get whatever she wants to get in life. Macbeth's character started out good until the thought of becoming king got into his head and screwed him up. Lady Macbeth has always been like that from day one. That is how their character is described.

One of their basic values that is shown in the book is that they are very greedy. They seem as if they are good people but there is always a hidden agenda. When ever a person finds out that some good is going to happen in the near future, they always try to make it happen before it is supposed to. Or whenever somethihng is supposed to happen and it does, it snot good enough. They always want something extra. Greed had imprisoned both of them.

The two share an ambitious attitude. Lady macbeth is very manipulating and unsympathethic to anyones feelings that were not her own. Macbeth on the other hand is sypathetic, yet his love for his wife and ambitious spirit lead to the deaths of many people.

Macbeth is the type of person that collapses under pressure or anything that causes you to think vigirously. Lady Macbeth is driven by ambiton she actually makes me think of Malcolm X's saying by any means neccessary.

Macbeth is not a strong man, he's filled with deception and deceit and will take what is not rightfully his at the time by any means necessary.

I say they are both just greedy people, willing to do wrong for their own satifation. They don't seem to have their values in check.
