Detailed explanation-1: -Given her active role in the murder, she may pretend to faint to distract attention from Macbeth’s explanation of why he killed Duncan’s guards or to prevent suspicion of her and Macbeth in Duncan’s death.
Detailed explanation-2: -After the murder (Act two, Scene three) Without warning during this scene, Lady Macbeth faints. This has been argued about ever since the play was first performed.
Detailed explanation-3: -After Duncan is killed at Lady Macbeth’s hand she seems to not feel any regret. After Duncan is killed and Macbeth has a guilty conscience she tells him not to think about what he did because it will drive him crazy, “These deeds must not be thought/After these ways; so, it will make us mad”(II. ii.
Detailed explanation-4: -What symbolism does Lady Macbeth’s fainting have and how is it ironic? It gives the people the sense that she is completely shocked that the King has been murdered. It is ironic because she planned the entire thing.
