Detailed explanation-1: -Lady Macbeth is satisfied that Duncan was killed. She does not feel sorry for his death. She thinks that Macbeth is a coward and she went back and wiped the daggers on the clothes of the guards. She wanted the guards to look as if they killed Duncan.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lady Macbeth enters and tells her husband that the king has dined and that he has been asking for Macbeth. Macbeth declares that he no longer intends to kill Duncan. Lady Macbeth, outraged, calls him a coward and questions his manhood: “When you durst do it, ” she says, “then you were a man” (1.7.49).
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is lady Macbeth’s attitude toward the murder of Duncan before it happens? She encourages it. Why do people suspect Malcolm and Donalbain of being behind Duncan’s murder? Their running away makes them look guilty.
