Man is the servant of inherent aspirations either good or bad. Macbeth was a brave soldier and rendered his duty in the battle field with valor and rare courage. Until then his ambitions were unknown to him, hidden in some parts of his heart without his knowledge. But the promotion to the post of Thane of Cawdor was the seed which germinated in his heart and aspired for more. The predictions of the witches worked like booster to his ambitions and wrote in a letter to his wife. His nature of loyalty to the king began to think of trechery. As he was bold enough as soldier, he did not hesitate to murder the King.
On the other hand Lady Macbeth is shown as highly ambitious woman but she has weaknesses. As she had never confronted with such situations, she felt guilty for the murder herself and the sight of blood effected her mind. Therefore she went made and always an illusion of that scene flated infront of her eyes.
Now when we talk about the relationship between two, in the beginning they worked together for achieving their end. In the later part naturally Lady Macbeth fall victim to her normal nature. She had never witnessed a murder and bloodshed and so she became mad at the sight of that.
Though ambitions, to achieve higher and higher, are tamed in every heart, all cannot resort to such actions as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth worked together. Some succeed in controlling their minds and thus get rid of the evil consequences. Others fall victim to their ambitions and suffer the end like the Macbeths.
