Lady Macbeth responds to her husband's outburst in Act III, Scene IV with a question: "Are you a man?", she asks him. Again calling into question his masculinity just as she did when he told her he did not want to kill King Duncan.
She then exclaims, sarcastically to him that he is imagining something, just like he thought he saw the dagger floating in the air before he killed Duncan. She continues to chide him about his fear and that he looks ridiculous and reminds her of a woman telling scary stories. He is spoiling the party with his nonsense.
