Both of them are wrecked shadows of the people they were. Macbeth has been driven to insane paranoia, to blustering one moment and cowering the next. His spirit, his joy in living has totally gone, as shown in his terrifying speech "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time."

Lady Macbeth is eaten away by guilt. She who proclaimed "a little water clears us of this deed" is terrified of the dark, and is haunted in her dreams by the bloody carnage which she has set in motion. She goes completely mad and possibly kills herself.
