The blood that is a constant reminder of the violence that takes place in Macbeth is an important symbol of the play. Blood serves as a reminder of the outcomes of an abuse of power and is also used as an image to show Macbeth and even Lady Macbeth to reflect on their guilty actions. However, this reminder of his guilt does not stop Macbeth from continuing his violent acts. Macbeth at the beginning of the play is described as a hero even in his darkest moments. Some very important characters in the play are Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, the three witches, King Duncan and Banquo. Near the beginning of the play, Macbeth and Banquo receive a visit from the three witches who tell Macbeth one of his prophecies and one of his prophecies to Banquo. Throughout Shakespeare's play "Macbeth", the recurring image of blood is used as a symbol to demonstrate the constant feelings of guilt felt by the characters, which ultimately leads to their endless feelings of fear and horror.
