Guilt

• " All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand" Act 5


  > Hyperbole to emphasise the anguish and heartache LMB feels

  > Juxtaposition of "A little water clears us of this deed"
• "Out damned spot, out I say" Act 5


  > Delusion of LMB, showcasing the heartache and anguish she's feeling

  > Repetition of "out" emphasising the desperation for guilt to leave

  > Guilt stains her hands
• “A little water clears us of this deed” Act 2


  > Women should protect life not put it in danger

  > "Little" suggests not a lot is needed to redeem heinous acts of treason

  > Quote eventually is juxtaposed with "All the perfumes..."
• “stop up the access and passage to remorse" Act 1


  > Signifying her wish to not feel “remorse” for what she is about to do
