Detailed explanation-1: -Lady Macbeth notices that “Hell is murky, ” and remarks, “Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?” (V.i.36-40). She experiences olefactory hallucinations too: “Here’s the smell of blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand” (V.i.50-51).
Detailed explanation-2: -Lady Macbeth says this because she has realized that nothing in the world will erase the stain of King Duncan’s death from her conscience.
Detailed explanation-3: -“All the perfumes of Arabia…” – Macbeth: Act 5 Scene 1.
Detailed explanation-4: -The emphasis on the “perfumes of Arabia", which are considered to be the most effective and and powerful perfumes, suggests how huge of a sin Lady Macbeth committed. She immersed herself into the darkness and foulness so much that strong and pleasant way of relief will not be able to save her.
Detailed explanation-5: -(RL4) Why does Lady Macbeth mention, “all of the perfumes of Arabia”? ? It’s part of an analogy used to contrast her against the gentlewoman.
