Who is the most evil character in Macbeth?

When I think about this question only one character comes to mind: Lady Macbeth.
Some people say that Macbeth is the evil character because he kills everybody and shows no remorse. But actually Lady Macbeth is the most evil because she wants Macbeth to kill King Duncan in the beginning. Macbeth tries not to commit the deed but ultimately does it anyway because Lady Macbeth calls him a coward and not a true man. She is the type of character who is evil in the her words and not in her actions. But people are going to say that she is the most evil because after the death of King Duncan she kind of lays low and sees what happens to Macbeth as he his killing all of his best friends because he is scared that they know to much even though they don't. I actually think that is evil to let your husband freak out and go pretty much on a killing spree. Also, when it comes to when Macbeth sees Banquo's ghost at the party, she starts yelling at him and making him look stupid when he is freaking out. She does nothing to support him even when he gets to deep to stop. She just sits on the side lines and watches everything unfold and make Macbeth's life a living hell.
That is why Lady Macbeth is the most evil character in Macbeth. She does thing in a psychological way that makes Macbeth's life go for the worst. All because of her, Macbeth kills King Duncan and then to try to cover everything up kills Banquo because he thinks Banquo knows to much and he wants only to be king. Also, she does nothing to try to help Macbeth after he kills these people.
