Detailed explanation-1: -The blood on Macbeth’s hands symbolizes the guilt he feels for murdering Duncan. Lady Macbeth speaks these words at the end of the play, wandering around the castle in a delirium trying to wash out an invisible bloodstain, a symbol of her guilt.
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: -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-4: -He realizes, in act 3, that “blood will have blood”-he knows that he will have to suffer for his murders. Macbeth recognizes that just as he murdered people to gain power, others on a quest for power may murder him to gain what he has. There is a vicious cycle of bloodshed and violence as a result of Macbeth’s actions.
Detailed explanation-5: -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’.
