The Destruction Of Macbeth?

... one’s wife is, Macbeth could not resist the trust he had in his wife. This power that Lady Macbeth had over her husband commanded Macbeth to kill the king and obtain what was rightfully his. This is a weak excuse for Macbeth’s downfall though, because she believed in her heart that her husband deserved to be king and nothing should get in the way of that.

Macbeth: Lying

... interpretation of the matter, as a result, causing them to make a hasty decision. To picture the difference between a lie and equivocation, let us use a mask and call it "LIE". A lie would be like covering up your face with that mask, so that no one can see the truth. But equivocation is like putting on only half the mask, to show only half the truth.

A Deed Without A Name: The Significance Of Witches In Macbeth

... prophecies are true, or to act upon them to ensure that they do come true. Shakespeare uses the witches to show how people act when there is the possibility of obtaining more power.

... ten times I had thought t' have yerked him here under the ribs." (1:2, 4-6). The same thing happens again, this time about Cassio. "With her - on her - what you will." (4:1, 42). Iago tells Othello about Cassio sleeping with Desdemona. This appears to be Iago's smartest move because this causes the death of Desdemona and Cassio.
