Detailed explanation-1: -Covered with blood and pointed toward the king’s chamber, the dagger represents the bloody course on which Macbeth is about to embark. Later, he sees Banquo’s ghost sitting in a chair at a feast, pricking his conscience by mutely reminding him that he murdered his former friend.
Detailed explanation-2: -First, Macbeth sees the dagger and as he speaks further, “It is the bloody business which informs/ Thus to mine eyes” he sees the dagger with blood on it that indicates his intended act.
Detailed explanation-3: -Here, when he sees that there is blood on the tip, Macbeth concludes that the dagger is not real but a manifestation of his guilt for plotting against Duncan. The blood on the dagger symbolizes Duncan’s impending murder and the guilt that will plague Macbeth for the rest of the play.
Detailed explanation-4: -Macbeth then says, ‘’I go, and it is done; the bell invites me./Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell/That summons thee to heaven or to hell.
Detailed explanation-5: -”Is this a dagger I see before me?” Macbeth utters this line in Act II, Scene 1 of the play named after him. He says it as a bloody dagger appears before him in mid-air.
