This image of Macbeth appeals a lot to me because it has many symbols such as his hands, blood, eyes, knife, ring, eyes, face and his clothes. The blood on his hands represent all the people he killed around him in order to get to the throne and become more powerful. His hands represent all the actions he did that made him feel guilty. The knife is the tool that he used to take away the lives and the power from his victims and to protect himself from the ones who wanted to accuse him as a murderer. The knife makes Macbeth a killer. In his eyes we can see how tormented and guilty his soul feels for being a murderer and there is nothing he can do since ambition has taken over him. The expression on his face when he looks at his hands with blood is just full of pain and guilt for the things he has done. His ring stained with blood represents that thanks to his power ambitions now his wife is dead along with his kids. Greed took over the love he had for his wife and destroyed his family. His furry clothes make him look as a wild animal who just wants to kill for power, protection, and leadership and therefore get whatever he wants without thinking about the consequences. In general, this picture symbolizes a murderer who spilled a lot of blood from his own family and even from the King he killed so he could take over the kingdom and become a king. At the end he did not become a great person nor a king but a villain who ended up destroying instead of building.
