What is lady plan in act 1?

Lady Macbeth's plan in act 1 is to convince her husband, Macbeth, to kill King Duncan so that Macbeth can become king. She believes that Macbeth is too weak and indecisive to do it on his own, so she uses her powers of persuasion and manipulation to convince him. She tells him that he is the only one who can save Scotland from Duncan's weak and ineffective rule, and that he owes it to his country to take action. She also plays on his ambition and desire for power, telling him that he deserves to be king and that he should not let anyone stand in his way. In the end, Lady Macbeth's plan is successful and Macbeth agrees to kill Duncan.
