Re-read this excerpt from ACT 5, Scene 1
DOCTOR You see, her eyes are open.
GENTLEWOMAN Yes, but they don't see anything.
DOCTOR What's she doing now? Look how she rubs her hands.
GENTLEWOMAN She often does that. She looks like she's washing her hands. I've seen her do that before for as long as fifteen minutes.
LADY MACBETH There's still a spot here.
DOCTOR Listen! She's talking. I'll write down what she says, so I'll remember it better.
LADY MACBETH (rubbing her hands) Come out, damned spot! Out, I command you! One, two. OK, it's time to do it now.—Hell is murky!—Nonsense, my lord, nonsense! You are a soldier, and yet you are afraid? Why should we be scared, when no one can lay the guilt upon us?—But who would have thought the old man would have had so much blood in him?
DOCTOR Did you hear that?
LADY MACBETH The thane of Fife had a wife. Where is she now?—What, will my hands never be clean?—No more of that, my lord, no more of that. You'll ruin everything by acting startled like this.
What does the imagined blood in Lady Macbeth's hands symbolize?
Question 4 options:
her guilt about her role in the deaths of King Duncan and Lady MacDuff
