Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. That sounds strange, but it is probably true. Next to them, Macduff gets very emotional when he discovers the murder, but seems to get over it quite quickly. But thoughts of Duncan haunt Macbeth who says in Act III Scene II "Duncan is in his grave. After life's fitful fever he sleeps well." And Lady Macbeth cannot shake off thoughts of Duncan either; in her sleepwalking scene she says, "But who would have thought the old man to have so much blood in him?"
