Comeuppance?

What is the wife's comeuppance, and how does she get it? - Bagel7 14:49, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

quote: "her long-supressed conscience has begun to plague her; she is haunted by visions of spots on her hands — the blood her husband has spilled largely at her instigation — and she eventually loses all contact with reality, tormented into madness by the guilt" - Darwinek 00:46, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Source on T. S. Eliot's favorite film

Throne of Blood being T.S. Eliot's favorite film is often mentioned, but I can't find a source for his actually saying or writing that. For now I am adding a citation of a Guardian film review that repeats the claim, but it would be better to cite the original source. -- Meyer (talk) 03:04, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since no direct sources have come to light, I have rephrased the article from saying the film was Eliot's favorite to was reputed to have been. -- Meyer (talk) 05:28, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's almost surely better to omit this reference entirely. What one poet was reputed to have though of the film is hardly of critical importance to the article. I'm cutting it.zadignose (talk) 03:00, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Macduff

This article contradicts itself, saying at one point that there is no Macduff character, then claiming in the cast list that there is one. Which is correct? 92.3.96.98 (talk) 08:30, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reference has been provided Noriyasu is the Macduff analogue. Don't blink or you'll miss him. The mention you refer to that there's no Macduff used to be in the Plot section. That kind of analysis doesn't belong there; and in particular, that kind of unreferenced analysis doesn't belong anywhere. Ribbet32 (talk) 19:28, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Incomprehensible gap in plot summary.

What's missing here? "... Washizu plans to tell Miki and his son about his decision at a grand banquet, but Asaji tells him that she is pregnant, which leaves him with a quandary concerning his heir, as now Miki's son has to be eliminated. During the banquet Washizu drinks sake copiously because he is clearly agitated, and at the sudden appearance of Miki's ghost, begins losing control..."

Washizu is planning to tell Miki something at a banquet, but is interrupted by the appearance of Miki's ghost... the beginning of the story strongly suggests that Miki is alive and present at this banquet, but now he's dead. If Miki mysteriously failed to show up at the banquet, or his absence was noted, or a murder plot was put in motion, it should be mentioned here.zadignose (talk) 01:53, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"110 minutes"?

My BFI DVD of the film is 105 minutes -- is there a longer cut of the film somewhere? Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 09:34, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A simple Google search will lead to multiple sources such as archive.org/details/ThroneOfBlood where the entire film is available to view online and clearly runs for 110 minutes. HeyHoNonny (talk) 05:00, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
