This is a great question because it goes straight to the dynamic between the Macbeths. Macbeth does not have a "fatal flaw", but he does have weaknesses, the largest of which is his self-image as masculine. Lady Macbeth can get Macbeth to do just about anything by saying "If thou wert a man, then thou durst do it." It's like someone who cannot resist a dare, or the taunt that he is "chicken".
