Abstract:
The character of Lady Macbeth has often been presented as evil and demonic. In this contribution, an attempt is made to show her in a somewhat different light; in doing so, some implications for forensic-psychiatric practice are suggested. 'Cann'st thou not minister to a mind diseas'd ..?' (Macbeth, to his wife's physician: V:i: 40)1
