What is a good comparison/contrast of Lady MacBeth with Lady MacDuff in Macbeth?

In addition to
the similarities mentioned in the previous answers, I would also say that Ladyand Lady 's
similarity lies in the fact that they are both left by their husbands. On the one hand, Ladyis
not physically left by Macbeth; however, her husband is consumed by the ambition to protect his
position and begins to ignore his wife.feels abandoned and is left alone to struggle with the
enormous amount of guilt that eventually leads to her descent into madness and death. On the
other hand,is left by her husband when he leaves Scotland in order to seek 's help to overthrow
Macbeth, so she remains unprotected and powerless with no one to help her and her
children.

As for their differences, Lady Macbeth is a cruel, calculating
woman who manipulates her husband into following through with his plan to kill , while Lady
Macduff is a loving mother who is goodhearted and unlike anything that Lady Macbeth is
characterized by. The two of them are total opposites. Nevertheless, the deaths of both are seen
as moments of profound .
