Detailed explanation-1: -Compare and contrast their reactions to the deed. Macbeth is horrified by his actions and almost incapacitated, lady macbeth is practical-“wash up, make the servants look guilty, go to bed.” Macbeth is immediately swept up in his feelings of guilt, lady macbeth seems cool and in charge.
Detailed explanation-2: -Then she tells him her plan: while Duncan sleeps, she will give his chamberlains wine to make them drunk, and then she and Macbeth can slip in and murder Duncan. They will smear the blood of Duncan on the sleeping chamberlains to cast the guilt upon them.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lady Macbeth is not involved in the murder plot against Banquo. This means that Macbeth is no longer the “valiant knight” in the beginning, he is evil, paranoid and worried all the time. This will only lead to the catastrophe.
Detailed explanation-4: -Macbeth feels like he cannot wash the blood off of his hands because even if the blood is gone the guilt still remains. Lady Macbeth does not have this same effect when Duncan is killed. She tells her husband to just wash off his hands and acts like it is not a huge dilemma. However, their mindsets change.
