If you really want a bloody play by Shakespeare, what you want to watch is Titus Andronicus. In this play, we start off with having a bloody human sacrifice, then we have a son killed in a swordfight with his father, a man killed in a tiger pit, and two other men wrongfully beheaded for doing it, and another man who chops off his own hand in hopes that it will save the wrongfully accused men. Then there is a girl who is raped and her tongue cut out and her hands cut off so she can't name her assailants. She manages to do this anyway after which she is killed by her father in an act of euthanasia. The father then kills the rapists and cooks them in a pie which he feeds to their mother. After this act of cannibalism, he kills her, is killed by her husband, who is then killed by someone else. The three corpses lie all over the supper table bleeding freely as the play ends. Coming in second to Titus is Hamlet. Macbeth, which has only three onstage murders plus a murder, a beheading, and a probable suicide offstage, does feature the word "blood" and its derivatives more than any other Shakespeare play.
