Detailed explanation-1: -Why does Lady Macbeth say she didn’t kill the king herself? She abhors violence. He looked like her father in his sleep. She tried but he overpowered her.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
