Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
If you think about it in context of when it was written, Lady Macbeth is a lot more evil because she defies absolutely everything that Elizabethan England associated with womanhood!.
She was the one who motivated Macbeth into killing, she was the far more ambitious one!. And she has a great speech about tearing a baby away from her breast and smashing its head in!.!.!.which, coming from a woman's mouth in the sixteenth century (seventeenth, technically, but whatever lol) was total villainy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no contest, lady macbeth!.

She is the brains and the influence behind macbeth's crime!. she basically convinces him to do the thing!. She's kind of evil that way, macbeth is just a misguided sissy, who has mild ambition and no brainsWww@QuestionHome@Com

That's debatable!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
