Macbeth finds fault with Lady Machbeth's dying because he is forced to confront his own mortality. Until then, his fantasies of power, which he increasingly found disturbing, gave him a sense of immortality. Now that his wife has passed, he can no longer entertain the notion that power provides immortality, since his wife held such power of her own.
