How have Macbeth and Lady Macbeth reversed roles by the end of the play

Definition1/16
In Act 1, Lady Macbeth is the planner, the one who is dragging
her reluctant husband into committing one murder. But by Act 4,
Macbeth commits murder after murder and Lady Macbeth is the
reluctant one, nauseated and consumed with guilt by the bloodshed.
The roles actually reverse much earlier in the play, when Macbeth
kills the grooms. That was not in Lady Macbeth's plan, and she is
horrified by it.

He is the man not of woman born mentioned in the witches'
prophecy, which is why they warned him to "beware Macduff". He is
not born of woman because he was delivered by C-section. Apparently
in order to be born you need to be born in the natural way.

Definition1/16
A tragedy is a play where things end badly for the main
character or characters. We don't feel this to be tragic unless we
like the main character or characters in some way and feel sorry
for them. Shakespeare's play Timon of Athens is supposed to be a
tragedy but yet is one of Shakespeare's least successful plays
because the character is so unlikeable we cannot feel sorry for him
when disaster overtakes him. Shakespeare also wrote characters to
whom bad things happen into his comedies, such as Malvolio in
Twelfth Night. What happens to Malvolio is bad but not that bad and
we don't feel sorry for him because he has a bad characteristic, a
flaw, of being stuck up and arrogant, which makes him hard to like.
Timon and Malvolio are not tragic because although bad things
happen to them, we rather think they deserve it and don't feel
sorry for them. Macbeth, we feel, deserves what he gets (killing
children is the ultimate crime), but we still feel sorry for him
because at the start, he was a war hero and an honourable man. We
know that, left to his own devices, he would never have killed
Duncan, and it was that one act which changed him from a likeable
hero into a monster. It's an act he regrets almost immediately
("Wake Duncan with thy knocking! I would thou couldst!") but which
he can never undo.
