Macbeth Act II Reading Response

Lady Macbeth waits for Macbeth to finish killing Duncan.  Macbeth enters, still carrying the bloody daggers.  Lady Macbeth again chastises him for his weak-mindedness and plants them on the bodyguards herself.  As she does so, Macbeth imagines that he hears a voice saying “Macbeth will sleep no more.”  Lady Macbeth returns and assures Macbeth that “a little water clears us of this deed.”  How do you feel about her statement?  What is she trying to do?  How can this suggestion, “a little water clears us of [the] deed,” apply to our world—perhaps your own life today? 

Write a one page, double space, response. Make sure to follow the directions and answer ALL aspects of the question.
