Answer:

Macbeth's soliloquy in Act 2, Scene 1 reveals his feelings of guilt and self-loathing

Step-by-step explanation:

He juxtaposes the immensity of his guilt with Neptune’s ocean and even that can’t wash the guilt of blood from his mind2. This soliloquy tells us of Macbeth’s true nature which is in contrast to his destabilising ambition2. The soliloquy also reveals Macbeth's increasingly fractured state of mind as he contemplates regicide
