Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -He says, “I’ll go no more: / I am afraid to think what I have done; / Look on’t again I dare not” (2.2. 47-49). This makes Lady Macbeth scornful of her husband. She takes the daggers from him and tells him that it’s childish to be afraid of the sleeping or the dead.

Detailed explanation-2: -In Shakespeare ‘s play “Macbeth”, the main character Macbeth is fraught with guilt and anxiety after being told by three witches that he would someday be king. He sees no other way to become king other than by killing the current King Duncan, who he was once very loyal to.

Detailed explanation-3: -As the play progresses, Macbeth attempts to quell those fears by means of further bloodshed. Until and unless he can murder all who appear to threaten his ill-gotten crown, he feels himself “cabin’d, cribb’d, confined, bound in / To saucy doubts and fears” (3.4.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sin is identified by trepidation and guilt, which involve respect for the divine and the right. Macbeth’s adversaries do not prosecute and sentence him for high crimes and misdemeanors; he is hunted down and killed as a sinful blight on the body politic.
