Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -Lady Macbeth has just rung a bell, the signal that it’s time for Macbeth to kill Duncan. A knell is the solemn ringing of a church bell to announce someone’s death. Here, Shakespeare uses wordplay to remind the audience that in this case, the knell heralds Duncan’s death.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lady Macbeth has drugged the guards, noting that Duncan’s resemblance to her father has stayed her from doing the deed herself. After the murder, Macbeth carries the bloody daggers from the chamber causing Lady Macbeth to reprimand him for his great show of emotion.
