Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Even though Lady Macbeth wants Duncan dead, she will not kill him herself. The excuse she gives is that, when Duncan is asleep, he looks too much like her own father. She says, ‘Had he not resembled/My father as he slept, I had done ‘t.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lady Macbeth wants to kill Duncan because he is standing in between her husband and the throne. Like her husband, she is ambitious, and she knows that if his social status is elevated, hers will be as well.
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.
