    Blood And Guilt In Macbeth

    • 1006 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Blood can be a terrifying reminder of a past event. For instance, it is extremely difficult to completely cleanse everything that blood comes into contact with; as a result, the reminder eats away at one’s conscience making a potential emotion of guilt or regret.

These two components work hand in hand to illustrate the idea that greater amounts of blood shown throughout the scenes cause a higher level of guilt to take place; in addition, as blood becomes absent so does the emotion of guilt inside Macbeth.…
