Art not without ambition, but without / the illness should attend it
Lady Macbeth thinks Macbeth will not achieve power because he will not kill the King who he shall become (says the witches first prophecies). When he eventually does, Lady Macbeth is proven wrong. So shame on herself!
She does it to incriminate them. The fact that their daggers were used and that they were covered with blood is supposed to persuade everyone that they committed the murder. Macbeth, however, believes that it is not enough.
Lady Macbeth believes Macbeth is too full of the "milk of human kindness" to commit the murder, indicating she views him as weak. She also questions his masculinity by suggesting he would rather live like a coward than seize an opportunity for power and greatness. These comments reveal her belief that Macbeth's reluctance to act is due to his perceived lack of strength and courage.
The quote essentially says: Water will wash away the blood/murders off our hands. The quote means: Lady Macbeth believes that something as basic as "a little water" will cleanse their conscience. The quote matters: Here, Shakespeare reveals Lady Macbeth's psyche.
Lady Macbeth suggests that Macbeth should wash Duncan's blood off his hands with water, stating that "a little water clears us of this deed." She believes that simply washing the blood away will remove the guilt associated with the murder.

Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth to "grieve like a man" when he expresses his emotions after the death of King Duncan in the play Macbeth. She believes that showing emotion is a sign of weakness and urges him to be strong and vengeful instead.
Lady Macbeth is the wife of the title character, Macbeth, a Scottish nobleman.
In the first part of her soliloquy, Lady Macbeth shares her desire for greater ambition and power. She expresses her wish to be filled with cruelty and to have her feminine qualities suppressed in order to carry out the murderous scheme she has plotted with her husband. Lady Macbeth believes that she needs to be fierce and ruthless to achieve their goals.
The reaction between Lady Macbeth and Macbeth is initially very different after they kill Duncan. Lady Macbeth is enthusiastic but Macbeth regrets his actions.
