Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following best describes Lady Macbeth’s death? She dies offstage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lady Macbeth is horrified and wracked with guilt, which drives her to kill herself; in her last appearance, she sleepwalks in profound torment, and hallucinates that her hands are stained with the blood of Duncan and Macduff’s family, scrubbing furiously in a vain attempt to “clean” them.
Detailed explanation-3: -She sleepwalks off of the palace wall. She declares her own guilt and stabs herself with a knife. Macduff slays her in revenge for his own wife’s murder.
Detailed explanation-4: -But as Macbeth grows more and more used to being a tyrant following Duncan’s murder, Lady Macbeth suffers more and more from guilt. She goes mad and finally kills herself.
