Lady Macbeth versus Macbeth

In this play, closer to the beginning we are introduced to what seem like two evil characters. These characters are Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. These two characters are the antagonists from the start as they together planned the murder of the King of Scotland to have Macbeth be crowned himself. In the early stages however, I thought Macbeth could still be a good character and he was just being influenced by Lady Macbeth. This led me to the conclusion that Lady Macbeth might be the main antagonist and could turn around for the better. However, this completely changed as throughout the book Lady Macbeth feels more and more guilty leading her to commit suicide while Macbeth stands by his decision and fights to keep it no matter the cost. This is the major difference between the two characters, both are evil, however Lady Macbeth isn't as evil and feels bad about what she did. Macbeth on the other hand doesn't regret his decision making him the greater evil and putting these two characters apart.
