In act 2, scene 2 Lady Macbeth says “A little water clears us of this deed. How easy it is, then!” When she says this to Macbeth, she is trying to make him get over the fact that he killed Duncan. She basically said go wash off the blood and move on. Her attitude toward the situation was cold and heartless.
Then in act 5, scene 1 Lady Macbeth” What, will these hands ne’er be clean” Now Lady Macbeth is expressing some regret towards the murders. She just wants to be able to wash away the blood and the memories.
