Macbeth is concerned about the blood on his hands because he couldn't believe that he had really killed King Duncan.
He says that no amount of water could wash away the blood, because washing the blood away couldn't bring the King back.
Blood represents the guilt, and this is where we get the phrase "to have blood on one's hands". He's done something he can't turn back and has to live with the consequences and guilt that will follow for the rest of his life.

∙ 14y agoLady McBeth persuades her husband to kill Duncan because she wants McBeth to be King. McBeth stabs Duncan and Duncans chamberlains. The witches prophesised that Banquo would inherit the throne and fearing this, McBeth hires murderers to kill Banquo and his son (the son escaped). His killing spree continued. Lady Mc feels guilty about pushing her husband to kill and starts to sleepwalk and talk about 'having blood on her hands' because she feels responsible for the murders.

In Act II Scene 2 Lord Macbeth has murdered the king, but he has forgotten to leave the daggers in the murder place. Lady Macbeth says to Macbeth: "Why did you bring these daggers from the place? They must lie there: go carry them; and smear the sleepy grooms with blood."
Lord Macbeth can't go back, so Lady Macbeth takes the daggers and smears blood on the faces of the sleeping servants, making it look as though they were the murderers. Here Lady Macbeth is strong, she is the ambitious one pushing Lord Macbeth on.

∙ 13y agoIn Macbeth right after Macbeth kills king Duncan he starts freaking out and forgets to plant the daggers on the guards as planned. In result of this Lady MAcbeth takes the daggers and plants them on the guards but is missing the blood to plant on the guards. She goes to the now dead Duncan and takes blood from his corpse and puts it on the guards.

∙ 7y agoIn Act II, Macbeth considers the blood as an emblem of guilt, saying "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?" Although Lady Macbeth scoffs at this point, saying "a little water clears us of this deed", she will come to echo Macbeth when she says "Here's the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand." She has come to accept that the guilt cannot be so easily washed away.

What are some patterns of imagery in Macbeth act 4?
"I am in blood stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o'er". (III, 4) The image of Macbeth wading through an ocean of blood reinforces the many examples of blood imagery throughout the play, including several earlier in the same scene. It is reminiscent of the line "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." which also reminds us of Lady Macbeth's line "all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand." All of these images of the Macbeths awash in a sea of blood that cannot be cleaned off enhance the central idea of Macbeth, which is that doing one evil deed changes the doer forever, and the guilt clings to him or to her. (As in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, there is no redemption.)

What does Macbeth mean when he says the blood on his hands will redden all the seas?
When Macbeth says the blood on his hands will redden all the seas, he is expressing the idea that his guilt and remorse are so profound that they will consume and taint everything around him, metaphorically turning the entire world red with blood. It reflects his overwhelming sense of moral corruption and the weight of his crimes.

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.
