What is the importance of Shakespeare's use of blood imagery in the latter half of Act III? Why does it become so vivid in Macbeth's mind?

Blood in Act 3 symbolizes macbeths guilt. when he says "i am in blood steeped so far" he is saying that he cant take back what he did because its too late. When Banquos ghost appears to macbeth it turns everything into reality. Its a dramitic turn around for macbeth becuase now what he desired so much has become his greatest obstical. To conclude since i dont really understand the question and im rambling, i will end by saying that blood is to show guilt in act 3.
The blood imagery kind of interprets to you how deep a hole Macbeth had really dug himself as far as trying to gain power to the throne. The fact also the he can't refill that hole at all, he kind of can't look back and fix what he had done.
The bloody imagery would represents that Macbeth feels guilty. And Macbeth knows that if he has done something wrong, he can't turn back and try to fix it.
The blood imagery in Macbeth Act 3 symbolizes that Macbeth is begining to dig a big hole for himself. He is feeling very guilty for all the murders he has done and he knows he cant take it back. It is so vivid in Macbeths mind because he knows what he did was very wrong and no matter what he cant take it back. The guilt overwhelms him!
The blood is a symbol of Macbeth's regret for his actions.Once the deed is done you live with it for the rest of your life. Maybe it would fade if he stopped killing people! -Katelyn/Claire
At first, MacBeth didnt' want to kill Duncan, and just let nature take it's course, but he saw the dagger and blood in his mind and he knew what had to be done. Further blood images can be interpreted as guilt and reflection on his actions
The blood imagery shows how gory the act of killing is in the play. By him telling us how bloody and horrilbe his act was. I believe he feels guilt and remors for what he has done.
Shakespeare uses blood imagery to symbolize Macbeth's guilt. It becomes very important in Macbeth's mind at the end of Act 3, because he has just had Banquo killed and is feeling very guilty about it. He is worried about getting caught, and he very likely regrets it.
