" Guilt "

What do William Shakespeare's words "So full of artless jealousy is guilt, It spills itself in fearing to be spilt." mean?

Guilt makes you so full of stupid suspicions that you give yourself away because

you're trying so hard not to.

"Guiltiness will speak."

Curtis Lindsay, professional musician, arts administrator.

Shakespeare is saying — through the character of Queen Gertrude, in Act IV of Hamlet— that when a person feels guilty for something he has secretly done, he is likely to become extremely suspicious of others as a result. He may become hyper-vigilant, in fear that he will be exposed.

Does he know? How about her; does she know that I know that she knows?

Often other people can recognize this paranoid behavior, such that the guilty person ends up exposing himself through the attempt to protect himself.
