Shakespears

Shakespeare uses blood as killing, when Macbeth is going to kill Duncan. Macbeth imagines a bloody dagger in front of him, and squeezes the dagger, aiming towards Duncan's room. In this case, Macbeth states, "Is this the dragger which I see before me . . . and on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood, which was not so before . . . It is bloody business, which now inform thus to mine eye." (Act 2, Scene 2 pg.54- 58 line 59 - 60) Blood represents killing. The symbol of blood also represents the dark side of Macbeth and death.

Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?"(Act 5 Scene 1 pg.163 line 37 - 42). This speech represents the fact that she cannot wipe the blood stains of Duncan off her hands. She says this right after the murder, when Macbeth was feeling guilty, and her guilty conscience grows stronger. She rubs the imaginary blood of her hands to rid herself of the guilt. Shakespeare proves that the symbol of blood has many different meanings.

Shakespeare uses blood illustrating life. When Duncan sees the injured Captain, he states, "What bloody man is that?" (ACT 1 SCENE 2 pg. 9) This is a symbol of a brave fighter, who has been injured in a courageous battle for his country. He sacrifices his bloody for his motherland. Another blood scene occurs is when Duncan orders to execute of the rebel thane of Cawdor. (Act 1 Scene 2) Shakespeare works blood to create different explanation here.

Shakespeare uses blood as a symbol of a family, where Duncan wants his son, Malcolm, to
