Macbeth is a play by William Shakespeare. It happens to be one of his most known games. It is believed that Macbeth was written in 1606, and it happens to be one of Shakespeare's darkest plays. It tells the story of Macbeth who learns from witches that he will become the King Of Scotland.

To achieve this goal, he murders many, but the murders make him feel guilty. This quote is one of the standout points in the plan to reveal his feelings about his actions. Macbeth says this quote to Macduff. He killed Macduff's entire family, but he currently has too much blood on his hands and doesn't want anymore.

Roman fool refers to the Roman empire where politicians or emperors committed suicide to maintain their dignity in death by falling onto their sword for a quick death. While I see lines, the gashes do better upon them which means, if I see my enemies, I would rather my sword afflict damage than me.

Before this time, Macbeth and MacDuff were portrayed fighting each other with their swords. When the battle is over, MacDuff said, "With the blood of thine already." It means, I have killed many, but I will not kill you.

He has avoided the one person he believes has the power to kill him and the motive to do so as Macbeth has killed all of Macduff's family and knows Macduff will seek to avenge their deaths.
