In your opinion, which character is more evil, Macbeth or Lady Macbeth? Explain why and provide at least two examples of specific evidence from the play to support your answer.

Lady Macbeth is the most interesting character in the first two acts. She cares about her husband and is eager to see him rise in rank. She says he is worthy of being greater than what he is now:

Explanation:

Great Glamis! Worthy Cawdor!

Greater than both, by the all-hail hereafter!

She is ambitious, purposeful, and determined. Unlike Macbeth, she seldom wavers about a decision. She has already made up her mind on how to influence Macbeth:  

Hie thee hither,

That I may pour my spirits in thine ear;

And chastise with the valor of my tongue

All that impedes thee from the golden round…

When Lady Macbeth realizes that her husband is weak, she prays that she will be filled with “direst cruelty” so that she can make him firm in his purpose. Lady Macbeth wishes that she were not a woman so that she could directly act to make her husband the king.

She can remain calm during times of crisis. It is Lady Macbeth who places the bloody daggers with the chamberlains, or guards, when Macbeth forgets to do so after he kills Duncan. She tells Macbeth

Infirm of purpose!  

Give me the daggers . . .

I'll gild the faces of the grooms withal,

For it must seem their guilt.

She exhibits strongly contrasting traits. She may be an affectionate mother, but she would be willing to kill her child if it would help Macbeth become king:  

I have given suck, and know  

How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me:

I would, while it was smiling in my face,

Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums

And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you

Have done to this.

However, her inability to murder the sleeping king, who reminds her of her father, shows that she is not inhuman.

Lady Macbeth is confident and cunning. She doesn’t let any of her devious plans get in her way of graciously welcoming Duncan and his group. She also plans the murder and places the daggers after the murder to implicate the king's guards.

Her confidence is apparent when she tells her husband, “leave all the rest to me.” She also assures him that a murder is not a very difficult task, and that they hardly need fear its consequences:

A little water clears us of this deed:

How easy is it then!

- self-esteem and a clear goal for writing

- financial security

- a room to be alone

the legal limit for the drivers who can drive after consuming any amount of alcohol is 21 years.

explanation:

on november 1, 1996, a "zero tolerance law" was put into effect in the new york state.

according to this zero tolerance law, for people under the age of 21 years, it was illegal to purchase and possess alcohol or to drive after consuming any amount of it.

also, the alcohol involvement rate for the drivers under the age of 21 was roughly twice that of elderly drivers.
