520 $aMacbeth is often read in a singular fashion: either as a cautionary morality tale warning against ambition, or as a psychological study of evil. In Ambivalent Macbeth, renowned Shakespeare scholar R.S. White argues that these differing readings result from a profoundly ambivalent play, and that this quality is a clue to its greatness.
520 $aMacbeth is a timeless tragedy that has enthralled theatre-goers for the last 400 years. Dark and violent, it is a cautionary tale about ambition and greed, charting the meteoric and brutal rise and fall of Macbeth as he chases the throne of Scotland. In Macbeth, renowned Shakespeare scholar R.S. White thoroughly examines Macbeth: its historical context and source material, as well as its characters, themes, and imagery. This book also features an updated account of the play in performance, including cinematic, theatrical, and musical adaptations.
