John Bulwer calls the rubbing motion of Lady Macbeth's hand Gestus #XI: Innocentiam Ostendo (Latin for "I show innocence"). He states that "[t] o imitating the posture of hand washing by rubbing the back of one in another basin with some sort of detersive movement is a gesture that is sometimes used by those who will plead not guilty and declare that they do not have the Handover on that dirty business , not as much as they want [...] because Hands naturally imply, as in Hieroglyphique, menstrual actions and operations, and that the cleaning movement shows the cleanliness of their actions. " This attitude is also associated with Pilate and with other Shakespeare drama Julius Caesar (where the movement of washing Brutus's hand changed from the innocent profession into a false signal) and Richard II .
