"Blood" is a recurring image throughout the play Macbeth. Shakespeare frequently used a particular image repeatedly in the same play (see the use of the word "star" in Romeo and Juliet). The blood is sometimes real (as is Duncan's blood on the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Macbeth or on the face of the first murderer) or imaginary (as in Lady Macbeth's dream) or purely symbolic (as in the spirit who is a "bloody child", or the blood into which Macbeth he has stepped so far that to return were as tedious as go o'er, or the blood of Macduff's family with which Macbeth says his soul is charged.
