Detailed explanation-1: -2) Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him? Lady Macbeth in Act V scene i (the sleepwalking scene).
Detailed explanation-2: -Shakespeare uses blood as a sign of guilt, and the importance of this quote is that it tells us Lady Macbeth is finally feeling guilty. She should have died hereafter.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lady Macbeth, sleepwalking in her chamber, ‘rubs her hands’ for ‘a quarter of an hour’, lamenting ‘what, will these hands ne’er be clean’. She can still smell blood: ‘All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand’.
Detailed explanation-4: -Summary: Act 5: Scene 1 Suddenly, Lady Macbeth enters in a trance with a candle in her hand. Bemoaning the murders of Lady Macduff and Banquo, she seems to see blood on her hands and claims that nothing will ever wash it off. She leaves, and the doctor and gentlewoman marvel at her descent into madness.
