were family. We would play spies together and hide

must be a hard worker who values self
improvement"? Either way, the real question is why

Fiend Like Queen Lady Macbeth
683 words
Malcolm calls Macbeth a butcher, someone who kills
without a conscience and without a reason. He also

characters are more complex. Macbeth at the
