Who did Lady Macbeth kill in Shakespeare's play, Macbeth?
I have to write an essay about the play, Macbeth. I am doing the essay on how the play is related to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and I am wondering who Lady Macbeth killed in the play, other than herself.
Thank you!!

Lady Macbeth kills:
1. The guards: She cunningly manages to convince her husband (Macbeth) to murder these two servants/guards.
2. King Duncan: Again, she convinces Macbeth to commit regicide.
3. Herself: later in the play, she commits suicide due to insanity from the sheer guilt and paranoia.

Lady MacBeth told her husband to kill various people. She would have killed King Duncan, she says, if he didn't look so much like her father. There is some debate over who the Third Murderer is in 3.3: some say it is Lady Macbeth. But I don't believe it is actually said in the play that she murders anyone.

Good luck in getting a big fat F
WTF are you talking about???
Macbeth is a story about how one person's all consuming quest for power will stop at nothing, even murdering kings and everyone close to him to get what he wants, all while assuming he is infallible due to the witches phrophesies...which lure macbeth to his ultimate demise.
Lady Macbeth didn't KILL anyone.

She didn't kill anyone- the reason she was overcome with guilt was because she guilted her husband into doing it for her. All she did was clean with his mess (He left the daggers in the room with the King, instead of placing it with the guards.)
