Out, Damned Spot!/Quotes

""Out, damned spot! out, I say!""

- Lady Macbeth, Macbeth

""I scrubbed myself raw, desperately trying to get the bloodout, out of my fingernails, out of my hair, out of my mind. I got two out of three, I think.""

- Martin Rose, Undocumented Features: Dies Irae

""He'd scrubbed and scrubbed, but it seemed to have no effect. Eventually he'd gone down to the dungeons and borrowed one of the torturer's wire brushes, and scrubbed and scrubbed with that, too. That had no effect, either. It made it worse. The harder he scrubbed, the more blood there was. He was afraid he might go mad...""

- Wyrd Sisters

""There is blood on my head! Can you not see the blood on my head!""

- The Crucible

"See the lady. She is Mrs. Macbeth. She is washing her hands. Because her hands are all bloodstained. Ecch, ecch, ecch! She has just helped Macbeth kill the King. Why did Mrs. Macbeth help Macbeth kill the King? Because the Macbeths always do everything together! Togetherness, togetherness, togetherness. “Out, damned spot!” says Mrs. Macbeth. Mrs. Macbeth has dirty hands, all right. She also has a dirty mouth!"
