Detailed explanation-1: -Lady Macbeth is the one who lays out the plan to get Duncan’s chamberlains drunk so she and her husband can kill Duncan in his sleep. Then, she says, they will smear blood on Duncan’s men to make them appear to be murderers. Duncan is murdered in his bedchamber while he sleeps.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lady Macbeth faints and Macbeth in rage kills the two drunken guards after claiming that they obviously killed their King. These actions largely free Macbeth and Lady Macbeth from suspicion.
Detailed explanation-3: -When he murders Duncan, Macbeth thinks he hears a voice say “Macbeth does murder sleep” (2.2. 34). Sleep symbolizes innocence, purity, and peace of mind, and in killing Duncan Macbeth actually does murder sleep: Lady Macbeth begins to sleepwalk, and Macbeth is haunted by his nightmares.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Macbeth, Duncan was repeatedly stabbed to death. In reality, Duncan died by Macbeth’s hand during battle and possibly also with the help of Thorfinn, his cousin.
