Women's role in Macbeth

…

…note that Macbeth is primarily a brave, courageous, and loyal man. It was not until the witches planted the idea of 'power' in his head, and Lady Macbeth encouraged him to murder Duncan, did he stray from the righteous path. In Macbeth, responsibility rests solely on the shoulders of the women in the play. Just as Eve gave the forbidden fruit to Adam, women supply men with evil temptation that will inevitably lead to misfortune.
