Macbeth and Blood

In this web page, I will be discussing the symbolism of blood in the famous play, Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare. Here we will talk about the symbolism of blood and how it changes throughout the course of the play, as well as discuss the effects of blood, and what it symbolizes, on the individual characters.

Macbeth is a very popular play, chalkfull of symbolism, juxtaposition, and other forms of figurative language. Shakespeare often disguises some of his best wit in metaphors for the reader, and viewer, to enjoy when they finally understand the meaning. Blood is utilized various times throughout the play, almost each scene containing some reference to it.
