Analysis

A

A way in which Macbeth overcomes this guilt he is feeling is to reject emotions, Shakespeare uses a euphemism to deflect the guilt overcoming Macbeth as “blood” has seemed to develop it’s own identity allowing Macbeth to complete this murders without needing to face the guilt of actually completing a murder as he sees the “blood hav[ing] blood”.
Shakespere does this to show if he had listened to his feeling of guilt Macbeth could have avoided all this murder, showing guilt should be accepted.
