Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -She tells him that he must return and place the daggers with the King’s grooms. Macbeth, however, is paralyzed with the horror of what he has done. 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).

Detailed explanation-2: -Macbeth did not want to take the daggers back to the scene of the crime because he felt guilty about what he had just done-he cannot bear to go back and see it again.

Detailed explanation-3: -In this scene, Macbeth returns from murdering Duncan, alarmed that he heard a noise. Lady Macbeth dismisses his fears and sees that he has brought the guards’ daggers with him, rather than planting them at the scene of the crime. She tells him to return the daggers but he refuses and Lady Macbeth goes instead.

Detailed explanation-4: -Since Macbeth is too shaken up to do anything, Lady Macbeth takes charge, calls him a wimp, and hauls the daggers back to Duncan’s chambers. When she comes back, she tells a still distraught Macbeth to snap out of it, wash the blood off his hands, and put on his nightgown, in case someone finds them awake.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lady Macbeth That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold; What hath quenched them hath given me fire. Hark, peace.
