Q

M knows he’s turning evil

A

By asking Lady Macbeth to be “innocent of knowledge” Macbeth is asking her to be innocent of evil. Macbeth knows that he is becoming evil, and he does not want to drag his wife down with him, because he loves her.
At the same time, his attitude for his wife is becoming more “frosty” and mean, which shows that he is trying not to love her
