Macbeth
Macbeth
$5.95
Arguably the darkest of all Shakespeare's plays,
Macbeth is also one of the most challenging. Is it a work of nihilistic
despair, "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying
nothing," or is it a cautionary tale warning of the dangers of
Machiavellianism and relativism? Does it lead to hell and hopelessness,
or does it point to a light beyond the darkness? This critical edition
of Shakespeare's classic psychological drama contains essays by some of
today's leading critics, exploring Macbeth as a morality play, as a
history play with contemporary relevance, and as a drama that shows a
vision of evil and that grapples with the problem of free will.
