Lady Macbeth's Monologue

#FICTION

Out, damned spot, out, I say!-One, two: why, then, 'tis time to do't.- Hell is murky. -Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?-Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him.

The adjective "murky" is superb - the biblical reference to hell already connects to the semantic field of sin or guilt, but in combination with "murky", this semantic field is linked consistently with ideas of filth or uncleanliness - layered on top of the metaphor of blood on her hands. This is great!
