Detailed explanation-1: -Lady Macbeth’s response to this speech will be her prosaic remark, “A little water clears us of this deed” (2.2. 65). By the end of the play, however, she will share Macbeth’s sense that Duncan’s murder has irreparably stained them with blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lady Macbeth returns, her hands now as bloody as Macbeth’s. But she is calm, and identifies the “mysterious” knocking as someone at the south entrance. She says, “a little water clears us of this deed” (line 65), and tells Macbeth to go and put his nightgown on so no one will suspect them.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lady Macbeth chides Macbeth that although her hands are of the same colour (red) she would shame / To wear a heart so white (line 65). She believes that A little water clears us of this deed (line 67), suggesting that the crime could simply be washed away and their consciences cleansed.
Detailed explanation-4: -’Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red’ Macbeth (Act II, Sc. II).
Detailed explanation-5: -In act two scene two, Macbeth enters the scene bearing bloody daggers. Macbeth tells Lady Macbeth, “I have done the deed. Didst thou not her a noise?” (lines 15).
