He looked too much like her father. The word "excuse" is well-chosen; she talks a good line, but does not walk the walk to match it.

∙ 9y agoLady Macbeth didn't kill the King, because she is a woman. In Act 2 Scene 2, Lady Macbeth gave the two royal guards drugged drinks. She wanted them unable to do their job of protecting their sovereign, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. She thereby sought to make it easier for her husband, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057], to kill the King. She checked on the guards to make sure that they were passed out from the drink and the drugs. She checked on the King to make sure that he was equally defenseless and vulnerable to attack. She was so pleased with her efforts that she would have killed the King herself if he hadn't '...resembled/My father as he slept...' [Lines 12-13].
