The difference is that Lady Macbeth at first wanted Macbeth to kill Banquo and Macbeth was too scared to do it. Later on in the tragedy, Lady Macbeth gets haunted and gets mentally ill and Macbeth keeps on killing people.

Who do Macbeth and Lady Macbeth kill in the play?

The Macbeth family victim list is: King Duncan, his two chamberlains, Macbeth's fellow general Banquo, Lady Macduff and her children. Eventually Lady Macbeth kills herself. Macbeth also kills young Siward towards the end and McDonald along with young siward during the battle when the forest "walks" up to the castle. the above is not exactly true - Macbeth kills - the traitorous Macdonwald, (mentioned in 1.2). Duncan, his two sleeping chamberlains, and young Siward. That's it. He hires murderers to kill Banquo and Fleance (they only get Banquo), as well as to kill Macduff and his family (they only get her son, and presumably, Lady Macduff - but in the text she exits before being killed) There is no evidence that Lady Macbeth kills herself, other than a line that she "tis thought, by self and violent hands took off her life"


Why did Macbeth listen to his wife?

Macbeth wasn't a typical soldier. A typical soldier in Shakespeare's times would be the one to give commands to his wife, but Macbeth was soft and he wasn't as confident as a usual soldier would have been. Due to Macbeth not having a lot of confidence, he felt he had to listen and obey Lady Macbeth. Although I suspect that nobody was going to give commands to a woman like Lady Macbeth. She was a formidable woman, who succeeded in controlling Macbeth not because he was soft but because she was harder than the toughest man. "I would, while it was smiling in my face, have plucked my nipple from its boneless gums and dashed the brains out had I so sworn as you have done to this." Is this a woman anyone could say no to?
