1) Macbeths own deed I think. He killed the family out of pure revenge and hatred.

2) LM has changed as she has become less like what a wife 'should' be like. She has become blood thirst and paranoid - include a quote...dont remember what line something like "Will these hands ever be clean"

3) Macbeth sees life as pointless - self explainatory in his speech "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow..."

Its only a little bit of info but I hope it helps =]

lady Macbeth felt so guilty she started going crazy then killed her self .
