Why would Lady Macbeth want to overrule Macbeth and make him a murderer?
A
So Macbeth has a happy life
B
So she becomes Queen and rules
C
The kindness of her heart
D
She loves the king but he hates her
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -She has no loyalty to any cause beyond her own ambition, and is willing to manipulate her husband to achieve what she wants. Her desire for Macbeth to be king doesn’t stem from a belief he’d be a good ruler; she wants him to be king because she wants to be queen.

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: -Lady Macbeth persuades Macbeth to kill King Duncan by preying on his sense of manhood and courage. When Macbeth reveals that he has had a change of heart and is no longer willing to kill King Duncan, Lady Macbeth becomes enraged.

Detailed explanation-4: -He then considers the reasons why he ought not to kill Duncan: Macbeth is Duncan’s kinsman, subject, and host; moreover, the king is universally admired as a virtuous ruler.

Detailed explanation-5: -In this scene, Macbeth returns from murdering Duncan, alarmed that he heard a noise. Lady Macbeth dismisses his fears and sees that he has brought the guards’ daggers with him, rather than planting them at the scene of the crime. She tells him to return the daggers but he refuses and Lady Macbeth goes instead.
