"Out damned spot!" is a reference to?
It's C.


Lady Macbeth begins to sleepwalk, as guilt denied in consciousness erupts in her dreams. Lady Macbeth is observed walking down the hall with a lantern, rubbing her hands roughly in an attempt to remove the bloody stain which seems never to go away. She begins to reveal, while still asleep, the depth of her guilt, and subsequent slide into madness and suicide.


But if you think about it, it could be A. or B. Macbeth does have an evil mark: greed to become king. But it's B as well because Banquo is a force stopping the Macbeths from reaching the top.
Reply:C. Lady Macbeth faced what all human beings face... the inability to cleanse themselves of sin. Only Jesus Christ can take our sins away.

Reply:C. She says it during her monologue in which he's wrapped with guilt (and insanity?!) after the part she played in Duncan's death.
Reply:Hmmm...this one is tough.





If you'd read the play, you'd know the answer. But, I suppose that was too inconvenient and time-consuming, so I'll give you a break.





It's "d." Spot was the name of the Macbeth's pooch, and he was always coming around and begging for treats just as they were plotting some foul murder or other.
