In almost all of Shakespeare's plays, blank verse (or unrhymed iambic pentameter) is used whenever people (especially important people) are saying important things, and prose (regular writing) is used when people are saying unimportant casual conversation things or when a document is being read. Rhymed couplets were also sometimes used by shakespeare to end long soliloquies or monologues,and especially at the end of a scene. In Macbeth there is also the witches' song "Double double toil and trouble" in which most of the lines have seven syllables and some have eight. It's a different kind of verse from blank verse.

Is the blood symbolic?

"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.
