In this scene I have required a few points into this scene that really stood out to me from the very beginning. One of them was symbolism of blood and the other point was. Why was Macbeth carrying on about the murder and what happened with King Duncan..?
For this paragraph the symbolism of blood indicates that the deed is done, but Macbeth goes on and on about what happen while he sneaked into King Duncan’s room to assassinate him, showing signs of extreme guilt and hatred, unlike Lady Macbeth. Who is probably more affected than Macbeth himself, even though he committed the murder.
Something else I noticed as a quote at the end of the scene Lady Macbeth says. “Retire we to our chamber; A little water clears us of this deed.” But what the two Macbeth’s don’t know is that Banquo knows of the crime they have committed. He has the exact evidence to turn the two in and claim his right as King Of Scotland.
As a result the last point I will make is that Macbeth also says. “Whence is that knocking?
How is’t with me, when every noise appals me?
What hands are here? ha! they pluck out mine eyes.
Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas in incarnadine,
Making the green one red.” This means that he would’ve wanted to clear of his quilt and sin he has commit to starting fresh without anyone knowing.
