A Comparison of Macbeth and Throne of Blood Through the Characterization of Each Work
Throne of Blood included arranged components of one of the best Shakespeare plays,
Macbeth, yet it was not a straightforward adjustment of the play. It was a tasteful creation that was wonderfully created to depict the complexities of the play while still maintaining creative ownership of the film.

As the woods drew closer, dimness shadowed the entire city.As the daylight showered the castle, the birds threw the whole city into confusion, the uproar of his people clouded Washizu’s thoughts, and the impending forest overtook the castle.
