It seems to me that what Jasper Fforde says is vulnerable to criticism. However, for the part of "greed", I am not sure if it really ends up with great results.
After reading ( and watching the scene which Macbeth kills Duncan cruelly :'( ), I really asked myself the question of "What is Lady Macbeth's problem?" as her greed results in the murder of Duncan inevitably. After coming home, I asked the same question to Google and I found a blog with the same title. You should also read this short passage at the link given below:
What was the Lady Macbeth's problem?

It ends with the words of "what Lady Macbeth searches for is a hero, not a husband". I think the blog is right at the point which she reveals the bad side of a person which causes Macbeth to turn into a cruel, greedy and self-absorbed person rather than kind and gentle one. Achilles might be a suitable husband for Lady Macbeth with his red blooded actions :)
An interesting view of Lady Macbeth. She has always fascinated audiences and is a very rich subject for psychological or even psycho-analytic study!
