Lady Macbeth vs Macbeth

Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's relationship played a prominent role in the play. When the Witches informed Macbeth that he would be king, he couldn't think of a way that that was going to happen. Was King Duncan going on to pass on his legacy to him? He didn't think so; he was confused about the prophecy. However, when he came home to Lady Macbeth, she came up with a plan to murder King Duncan and have her husband become his successor. This is where the rising action began; all from Lady Macbeth. This is an example of the desire for power that Lady Macbeth possessed. Macbeth, had his doubts about the plan. He is a soft-spoken, brave and honest soldier, and he would never think of killing the king to gain power. Comparably, they are two completely different characters at the begging of the story. At the end of the story, their personas change. Now Macbeth wants nothing but power, and he is willing to do whatever he needs to to get it. Lady Macbeth, on the other hand, is so overwhelmed with the guilt of her husband's actions, that she commits suicide. I believe that the personas of Lady Macbeth and Macbeth flip due to the actions of Macbeth in the story.
