In this passage, Macbeth is telling Lady Macbeth to remain ignorant of his plan to kill King Duncan until after the act is done and she can show approval and praise for it. He wants her to remain innocent of the knowledge of their murderous plot until it is accomplished.
In Act 3 Scene 2 Lines 45-46, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] said, 'Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck,/Till thou applaud the deed'. He made this statement to his wife [b. c. 1015] in reference to the murderous fate in store for Banquo and Banquo's son Fleance. The significance of the statement was Macbeth's planning something heinous on his own, without his usual collaboration from start to finish with Lady Macbeth.
( Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck,/ till thou applaud the dead.) from apex
Macbeth is hiding his plan to kill Banquo from his wife. He thinks it will make a nice surprise for her: "Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest Chuck, 'till thou applaud the deed." As much as I have often thought so, this line does not show that Lady Macbeth's given name is Charles.
From this moment/The very firstlings of my heart shall be/The firstlings of my hand.
Macbeth is saying this as he thinks aloud about his plan to kill banquo and his son fleance. Lady Macbeth over hears and asks him about it. He asks her to be innocent of the knowledge but to not worry because once the deed is done she will be better off.
