Because blood is so prominent in Midnight's Children, I kept thinking back on the motif of blood in Macbeth because it is so present in the play. In Macbeth, blood constantly reappears as a motif of extreme guilt. This guilt is what terrorizes Macbeth and Lady Macbeth throughout the entire play. I think that this association between guilt and blood can be related in Midnight's Children. I think that there is a certain degree of guilt that Aadam feels possibly for shifting more towards the West and rejecting Old India, including religion and other aspects. I think that there is a sent of guilt in that Aadam has rejected his past and come to adopt to Western ways.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09193881891872005443noreply@blogger.com
