This line, from Shakespeare's "Macbeth," reflects the protagonist's deep remorse and guilt after committing murder. It suggests that no amount of cleansing or external force, represented by Neptune's ocean, can wash away the internal stain of guilt he feels. The imagery emphasizes the permanence of his actions and the psychological torment that accompanies them, highlighting the theme of guilt and moral consequence in the play. Ultimately, it conveys the idea that some deeds leave an indelible mark on the soul.

Who said this line in Macbeth will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?
Macbeth.
How much water does Macbeth say he needs to clean up his mess?
He says, "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red." Basically, if he tried to use all the water in the ocean, he would make the ocean red with the blood and still be bloody himself. There are two figures of speech at work here. One is called hyperbole--extreme exaggeration. Of course all the water in the ocean will be more than enough. The other is metaphor. The blood is a metaphor for Macbeth's guilt, which cannot be washed away no matter how hard he tries. It's not about the real blood--that is easy enough to wash away.
How many times does Macbeth say blood on my hands?
Never. He does say the word "blood" fifteen times, and "bloody" another five. But not "blood on my hands". He does say "There's blood on thy face" to the murderer who kills Banquo. The closest he comes to talking about blood on his hands is "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash the blood clean from my hand."

How do the different attitudes of Macbeth and his wife to their blood stained hands serve to point up the basic difference in their characters?
