Lady Macbeth - "Fiend like queen"

Lady Macbeth is Macbeth's wife, and also a main character in the play

It is she who persuades Macbeth to kill Duncan, and she helps to cover up for him when he sees Banquo's ghost at the banquet. She also pretends to faint when Duncan is discovered dead, and frames the servants as Duncan's murderers.

In the end, however, she goes mad with guilt and commits suicide.
