Shakespeare's Macbeth Act 2, scene 2

Lady Macbeth waits in agitation for Macbeth to kill Duncan. She

comments that had the sleeping Duncan not looked like her father

she would have killed him herself.

Macbeth enters. He's killed Duncan and Duncan's attendants. His

hands are bloodstained and he's upset that when one of the

attendants said, "God bless us" in his sleep, he was unable to say,

"Amen." He also thought he heard a voice say, "Macbeth does

murder sleep" (line 34).

Lady Macbeth soothes him and tells him to wash his hands, but

notices he is still carrying the dagger he used to kill Duncan. Macbeth

refuses to return to the scene of the crime. Lady Macbeth, furious, runs off to plant the daggers on the

attendants.

A knock sounds, terrifying Macbeth. He worries that not all the water in the world cold wash the blood from

his hands. 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.

Macbeth wishes that the knocking could wake Duncan.
