she went insane because guilt took over her and the fact that she was seeing blood stains on her hands ("out damned spot, out i say"), enhanced her guilty conscience. This is ironic as during the first 2 acts of the play, she dominates over Macbeth, and is the controller. But later on, guilt surpasses her ambition which results in her insanity, and then suicide.

What does Macbeth do wrong and how does lady Macbeth fix it?

Lady Macbeth's plan was that Macbeth would murder Duncan, nobody would ever blame him or her, and they could happily be king and queen and she could throw lots of fancy dinner parties. What goes wrong is that Macbeth is driven crazy by guilt, becomes a paranoid loner, and wrecks the dinner parties by screaming at ghosts nobody can see. As she says: "Nought's had, all's spent, when desire's had without content". In other words it has turned to ashes in her mouth. Worse, Macbeth's paranoia and craziness has made him do things which will make people suspect him. This makes Lady Macbeth worry constantly that the murders will be brought home to them, which ironically makes her crazy and makes her spill the beans while sleepwalking. But she cannot correct her error. Duncan is dead; he cannot come out on's grave.
