Lady Macbeth Monologue - Act 5 Scene 1

“Out, cursed spot! Out, I say! One, two-why, then it’s time to
do it. Hell is murky! Shame on you my lord, shame! A soldier,
and afraid? Why should we fear when no one can hold us
responsible for our power? Yet who would have thought the
old man had so much blood in him?
The Thane of Fife had a wife. Where is she now? What will
these hands never be clean? No more o’ that lord, no more
o’ that. You mar all with this starting.
Heres the smell of blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will
not sweeten this little hand. Oh, oh, oh! Wash your hands,
put on your nightgown. Look not so pale! I tell you yet again,
Banqou’s buried. He cannot come out of one’s grave.
To bed, to bed! There’s knocking at the gate. Come, come,
come, come give me your hand. What’s done cannot be
undone. To bed, to bed, to bed!”
