Detailed explanation-1: -How does Lady Macbeth react to the blood? She explains that he’s hallucinating again–there is no blood!
Detailed explanation-2: -Lady Macbeth becomes convinced that there is still blood on her hands, even after thoroughly washing them clean. She becomes fixated on this idea and washes her hands over and over in an attempt to rid herself of her guilt. In the end, she decides the only way to get rid of the stain is to commit suicide.
Detailed explanation-3: -In scene 2, how does macbeth respond to lady macbeth’s suggestion that he go wash the “filthy witness” from his hands? “could all of great neptune’s ocean wash my hand clean of this blood? no instead, my hand would drench the enourmous seas a crimson color, making their green waters wholly red."
Detailed explanation-4: -Since Macbeth is too shaken up to do anything, Lady Macbeth takes charge, calls him a wimp, and hauls the daggers back to Duncan’s chambers. When she comes back, she tells a still distraught Macbeth to snap out of it, wash the blood off his hands, and put on his nightgown, in case someone finds them awake.
Detailed explanation-5: -After he kills Duncan, Macbeth comes to Lady Macbeth with his hands covered in blood. Horrified by his act, Macbeth laments that not even all of “Neptune’s ocean” would be enough to clean his hands. The blood on Macbeth’s hands symbolizes the guilt he feels for murdering Duncan.
