Yes. I do feel sorry for Lady Macbeth. The main reason is because she reminds me of Eve (from the Bible). Eve was tempted by Satan to eat from the fruit of good and evil because of her greed of wanting to become “like God”. Not only did she betray God, she nudged Adam along with her by tempting Adam to eat the fruit, even though he didn’t think it was right. This story is very similar to Macbeth in that Lady Macbeth persuades Macbeth to kill King Duncan because of her greed for the thrown, even though Macbeth refused to continue the murder.
Many people blame Eve and Lady Macbeth for “bringing evil to this world” or “all the murders” in the story of Macbeth, but we can’t blame them; they’re humans. Of course, they deserve the blame because it was their choice to cause it; but sometimes greed can take over a person and get things out of control.

Lady Macbeth’s greed for the thrown led her into destruction. If one looks at this in a Christian perspective, one must feel sorry for her, because one knows it was Satan who got in control of her life and caused her to commit such horrible crimes. Although what she did was unforgiveable to the people of Scotland, in return, she did not receive a happy life as a queen, and was instead hated by the people and filled with guilt and fear. So Lady Macbeth did deserve a punishment for being involved in murdering an innocent king, however, she is only human, a human who makes regrettable mistakes. We need to understand that she is just like us and feel sad for her.
