Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Give me the daggers”. They are doing the deed, but Macbeth brought the daggers with him and is feeling guilty. This reveals that Lady Macbeth is a little controlling. She also seems powerful and shows her power by demanding the daggers and putting them in their place herself.

Detailed explanation-2: -Give me the daggers. I’ll do it, then. Saying that the sleeping and the dead are but as pictures suggests either that they are similarly inert, unmoving and so unthreatening or, possibly, that the dead and the sleeping look alike, that the dead could just be sleeping.

Detailed explanation-3: -Within this Act and Scene, Lines 10-12 Lady Macbeth says “Th’ attempt, and not the deed, confounds us. Hark! I laid their daggers ready – he could not miss ‘em”. What this means is Lady Macbeth is anxious and can’t wait for the murder to be done with.
