A very able article, published some years ago in the National Review, on the character of Lady Macbeth, insists much upon an opinion that she died of remorse, as some palliation of her crimes, and mitigation of our detestation of them. That she died of wickedness would be, I think, a juster verdict. Remorse is consciousness of guilt . . . and that I think Lady Macbeth never had; though the unrecognized pressure of her great guilt killed her. (116-17)

deception and fraud. In this case, Wells Fargo was clearly unethical. Firstly, threatening the livelihood of a person is unjust. Managers would terminate employees who did not meet their sales quotas and prevent them from finding future jobs in the banking industry.
