"Had he not resembled my father as he slept, I'd ha' done it." That's what she says, anyway. It's probable that if that fairly lame excuse had not occurred to her, she would have thought of another. You might look on Lady Macbeth as one of these people who is all talk and no action. She talks the talk, but doesn't walk the walk. So we find the woman who would have dashed the brains out of her own child saying that she won't kill a man that sort of looks like her dad. Yeah, right.
