When Lady Macbeth uttered the famous phrase in literature "Out, damn'd spot", she wasn't talking about a coffee stain but about blood. One motif of Macbeth is how tough it is to wash, scrub, or soak out nasty bloodstains. Macbeth had said that even the ocean couldn't wash his hands clean of Duncan's blood; Lady Macbeth, who scorned him then, now finds the blood dyed into her conscience.Lady Macbeth is one of the most striking female figures in literature. She has been simultaneously viewed as an anti-mother character and as a witch. This link explains the complexity of her nature.
