Answer:

Dagger. Blood

Step-by-step explanation:

Macbeth is so mentally unstable that he hallucinates mostly all the time and sees a dagger before him. On the blade of the dagger, gouts of blood were found upon it. Blood is one of the most repeated images in Macbeth's mind. Blood is symbolic of violence and destruction in this play.
