Symbolism of blood
Out damned spot (lady macbeths guilt) blood is a symbol of guilt
Topic sentence
Although violence and bloodshed are present throughout macbeth,
It is the imagined blood that proves most powerful as it symbolizes guilt in Both macbeth and lady macbeth
How to analyse lady macbeths guilt
Lady macbeth develops paranoia as she reflects upon the murderous deeds she and macbeth have taken part in. Ramblings of out damned spot indicate her loosing sanity
Lady macbeth
Either responsible for the tragedy that befalls them both or one could argue she is doing nothing more than supporting her husbands ambitoons
Good introduction quote
