The closest interpretation from the answer choices would be: She does not consider the murder to be a subject worthy of considerable thought. Lady Macbeth may be suggesting that they should not dwell on the murder and its ramifications because it is not worth their time and energy, and that focusing on it will only drive them mad or cause unnecessary distress.

I apologize for the confusion. Let me reassess the lines provided in the excerpt:
Lady Macbeth's statement, "Consider it not so deeply," followed by her comment about challenging Macbeth's inability to say "Amen" after committing the murder can be interpreted as her discouraging Macbeth from dwelling too heavily on the murder and the guilt associated with it. It seems she is trying to downplay the significance of the act in order to help them both move on without being consumed by remorse and guilt, as suggested in the answer choice:
- She does not consider the murder to be a subject worthy of considerable thought.
Therefore, based on the lines provided, this would be the most accurate interpretation of Lady Macbeth's intent. Thank you for your patience.
