Out, damned spot; out, I say
R dressed as Lady MacBeth with blood stains on her hands last night – she kept saying “out, spot, out” but the reference was perhaps lost on the witches, ghosts and goblins that inhabit the non literary world. It’s that blood on her hands that bugs me most – because when it is on MacBeth’s hands she says a little water will wash it out but when she sees her own hands bloodstained, she embodies the guilt of all her doings.
Out spot out, I say.
