Detailed explanation-1: -In this part of the scene Lady Macbeth, unaware that Macbeth has already murdered Duncan, admits in a short monologue to, after having a drink of her own, drugging the guards ‘possets’ (hot drinks).
Detailed explanation-2: -(1.) 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -She tells Macbeth that once Duncan is asleep, she’ll get his servants so drunk that they pass out. Then she and Macbeth can kill Duncan and blame his servants for the killing. Lady Macbeth’s plan is good enough to convince Macbeth to change his mind and agree to kill Duncan. My father as he slept, I had done’t.
Detailed explanation-4: -What did Lady Macbeth do to the guards to make them sleep? Drugged their wine. Why couldn’t Lady Macbeth murder the king herself?
