Lady Macbeth doesn't kill Duncan herself because her husband has promised to do so. Anyway, she pretty much does everything except the actual killing from drugging the guards to placing the bloody daggers with the guards and smearing their faces with blood. She says, "Had he not resembled my father as he slept, I'd ha' done it." Perhaps she could talk the talk, but when it came down to it she couldn't walk the walk.
