The best interpretation based on the lines from Lady Macbeth is: She is making excuses so that she does not feel guilt for her role in the king’s murder.
In this moment, her acknowledgment that the king resembled her father suggests an emotional barrier that prevents her from carrying out the murder herself, indicating that she is grappling with the moral implications of her ambition and the actions required to achieve it.
