Everyone who is mortal has at least one flaw. Some are more serious than others. For example, some people have addictions to gambling, while other people can't remember to put the milk away after they use it. Sooner or later a person's imperfections will come back to haunt them.

She is his coconspirator in killing Duncan. Although she helps MacBeth get the courage to commit the murder, she isn't willing to do it herself. Lady MacBeth helped plot the murder of Duncan. But, that was not his fatal flaw! Banquo's fatal flaw was that although he knew that MacBeth killed Duncan, he really didn't do anything about it. If MacBeth just waited for his time, he would have been king, and have had a chance to enjoy it. Whether or not Lady MacBeth deserved her fate is a tricky question. MacBeth, destroyed the natural order and harmony of nature. Banquo knew that if he said anything, no one would believe him, and he would be executed.

Play.
MacBeth was the focus of the entire play, and that's why it was named after him.
