In this scene, there is a big Soliloquy from Macbeth. In said Soliloquy Macbeth talks about the consequence that will take place if he kills King Duncan. He also says that he is “(…) his kinsman and his subject”, and a kinsman and subject should be against the death of the king. This is one of the reasons, or excuses as Lady Macbeth sees it, that Macbeth gives not to murder the King. Lady Macbeth the enters and asked why he had left the chamber. Macbeth responded by asking if he was asked for. Lady Macbeth then replies by saying that he should know if he was called for. Lady Macbeth then says was the hope drunk. She says this as when you’re not thinking properly. Also when you are drunk everything is fake so in a way she is saying his hope if ‘fake’. She then builds and says “Wherein you dress’d yourself? hath it slept since?” I think she is saying that he dresses so highly like a lord, as he was made one by the king, but he does not act how he dresses, like a brave lord. She also calls Macbeth a coward. Macbeth then says “I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none”. This means he is saying he can do all that a man can do, and is calling Lady Macbeth.

Lady Macbeth says “screw your courage to the sticking-place” which is explained in another post of mine. The link: http://wp.me/p6JCQx-1v .
