Detailed explanation-1: -Lady Macbeth, famously and erroneously, predicts in the play that once the deed of the murders is done, it will be behind her and her husband, and they will be able to carry on with their lives. It is, however, her guilt that does not allow this to happen, and she eventually descends into delirium.
Detailed explanation-2: -What are the feelings of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth when they both reflect on the murder of Duncan? They both are unhappy and disturbed, Lady Macbeth has found no joy in her success. Macbeth is tormented by bad dreams. Both express envy of Duncan, their first murder victim because he is at rest.
Detailed explanation-3: -Before Duncan’s murder, Macbeth is affectionate and caring towards Lady Macbeth; however, towards the end of the play he transforms into a callous tyrant who shows no remorse or grief for her death, even though he is aware she had become an anxious, nervous childlike wreck.
Detailed explanation-4: -At one point, she wishes that she were not a woman so that she could do it herself. This theme of the relationship between gender and power is key to Lady Macbeth’s character: her husband implies that she is a masculine soul inhabiting a female body, which seems to link masculinity to ambition and violence.
Detailed explanation-5: -Macbeth’s emotions override his personal nature due to the pressure he is put in of being caught, essentially for Lady Macbeth’s actions. However, Lady Macbeth is calm throughout the conversation, she is the one who is calming down Macbeth for the deed he had just committed.
