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.
