Detailed explanation-1: -Lady Macbeth rubs her hands in a washing motion. With anguish, she recalls the deaths of King Duncan, Lady Macduff, and Banquo, then leaves. The Gentlewoman and the bewildered Doctor exeunt, realizing these are the symptoms of a guilt-ridden mind.
Detailed explanation-2: -Like her husband, she cannot find any rest, but she is suffering more clearly from a psychological disorder that causes her, as she sleepwalks, to recall fragments of the events of the murders of Duncan, Banquo, and Lady Macduff. These incriminating words are overheard by the Doctor and a lady-in-waiting.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking indicates that she has a guilty conscience and is slowly losing her mind. The fact that she is washing imaginary blood from her hands reveals that she feels guilty for participating in King Duncan’s murder.
Detailed explanation-4: -What three events does she mention? She talks about Macduff’s wife, King Duncan, and the murder of Banquo. Why, according to the doctor, is Lady Macbeth walking and talking in her sleep? She is guilty and says that deranged minds will confess their secrets to their pillows as they sleep.
