L. Macbeth knows what a bad murderer Macbeth is. She complains that anybody can read Macbeth's face and see what he is thinking,

 Your face, my Thane, is as a book where men May read strange matters.

L Macbeth encourages her husband to at least pretend to be the joyful humble host while secretly knowing he is going to kill the king.

Thank you so much Aslan.
