Act 5, Scene 1

"Out, damned spot! Out, I say!—One, two. Why, then, ’tis time to do ’t.....Here’s the smell of the blood still"

Significance of Quote

Techniques
-Repetition. Repeating "Out" displays her desperation to be free of her guilt.
-Symbolism- the supposed "blood" also represents the guilt that she feels over the murders, and the fact that she cannot be clean of it is representative of the lifelong burden she now carries.
