"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.)
