She was speaking to Banquo's ghost.
She said she would rather get murdered than to live on like this.
She contrasted her past self by rejecting her husband's violent thoughts.

"How now, my lord! Why do you keep alone, of sorriest fancies your companions making, using those thoughts which should indeed have died with them they think on? Things without all remedy should be without regard. What's done is done. "

Which translation is the most accurate to the following statement:
"Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace, then on the torture of the mind to lie in restless ecstasy. Duncan is in his grave. After life's fitful fever he sleeps well. Treason has done his worst; not steel not poison, malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing can touch him further."
We killed men to get our own peace. Now, Duncan is dead and nothing can hurt him anymore.
We only get peace from killing men now. Duncan may be in his grave, but threats around us still exist.
The only thing that gives me peace now a days is killing the people in my way. Duncan is dead, but now I have so many more tools.
The death that I steals my peace is Duncan's. After his death, nothing satisfies my cravings.
