      Also, Was Lady Macbeth acting out of love or desire?

      @Wandile Dlamini she wanted power for herself - queen. She wanted to support her husband in fulfilling his destiny, according to the witches. Or she is suffering from PND and looking for something to replace her dead child. Macbeth wanted the kingship for himself to replace his dead child. To please his wife as she has lost a child. He might be suffering from PTSD from the war that he has just fought. Or he might me fulfilling the witches' prophecies..

    A fantastic review. The Bard will remain authentic for the rest of time. See the mankind falling prey to dark and deep desires, "ambition corrupts the best". Thanks.
