Macbeth | Dead Butcher | Wax Melt Bar

This dead butcher and his fiend-like queen Macbeth

Drenched in blood-red wax and soaked in vengeance, our Dead Butcher and His Fiend-Like Queen wax melt bar captures the brutal final moments of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Inspired by Act 5, Scene 8, where Malcolm delivers the damning epitaph, this hand-poured rapeseed and coconut wax melt bar is a chilling tribute to the fall of Shakespeare's most corrupt duo. 

Twisted ambition. Murdered sleep. This wax melt bar embodies the carnage left in Macbeth’s wake, with the famous words etched boldly across the surface. As the wax melts, it oozes like spilled blood, a grim reminder of their descent from power to damnation, sealed with the fate of a haunted crown.

Perfect for lovers of Shakespearean tragedy, this Macbeth wax melt bar invites you settle down for the evening and indulge in a cosy and intoxicating reading experience. With sweet vanilla, creamy hot milk and winter spice aromas, this wax melt bar creates the perfect comforting atmosphere for those darker, chilly evenings.

Lottie's literary thoughts about this product

The quote “dead butcher and his fiend-like queen” is spoken by Malcolm in the final scene of Macbeth in Act Five Scene Eight. It sums up how Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are remembered after their deaths. “Dead butcher” reflects Macbeth’s ruthless killings, tyranny and moral downfall, reducing him to someone who slaughters without remorse. “Fiend-like queen” portrays Lady Macbeth as evil and inhuman, driven by ambition and manipulation, and arguably the fourth witch of Macbeth with her supernatural flair. The quote shows how far they’ve fallen from noble beginnings, highlighting the corrupting power of the ultimate hamartia: unchecked ambition

Too charming to melt? We thought so too, so why not enhance your order with a jute pouch of our botanical wax melts removing all guilt of melting your pretty ones too soon.

Don't forget to add a display stand to show off your bar while enjoying the scent for up to two weeks.
