Why was Macduff referred to as a 'bloody child' in 'Macbeth'?
Macduff was referred to as a 'bloody child' because of the bloody way in which he came into the world. In Act 4 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', the three witches called forth the apparition of a bloody child. The child warned Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] of his powerlessness against the man not born of woman. It wasn't until Act 5 Scene 8 that Macbeth learned what the warning meant. In that scene, Macduff revealed that he owed his life not to a natural birth, but to a Caesarian delivery. That delivery was made, not from a living woman, but from the corpse of his already dead mother. William Shakespeare [Baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616] didn't identify the cause of death for Macduff's mother. But the delivery would have been bloody. And it might have been made even bloodier by the cause of the mother's death.
