He's shaken; he heard voices say \"Macbeth does murder sleep.\"\n- He brought the bloody daggers with him by mistake and refuses to go back.\n- Lady Macbeth takes the daggers back to the room and smears the sleeping guards with blood.\n- Knocking at the gate. Macbeth looks at his hands.\n\nFLAGGED QUOTE (Ms. F: \"know this one, who says it, and why\"):\n\"Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood / Clean from my hand?\"\nI wrote: Lady Macbeth.\n  ** Ms. F corrected: NO.
