I simply love this play, it's one of my most favourite books ever. I was only fourteen when I read it for the first time and I fell head over heels in love with Macbeth and his wife, and the witches, and the walking forest. I love this story, definitely five stars. ( ) I think these are plays you need to understand, before you understand. I know, that's a bit of oxymoron, but on first read, I spent more time on the footnotes and annotations than actually reading the story. Of course, it probably helps to see it performed as well. I'm glad I read, and its certainly going to be added to my reread pile, I think on second reading I will get considerable more out of it. Nachdem Macbeth von drei Hexen prophezeit worden ist, dass er König von Schottland wird, wandelt er sich, angestachelt von seiner machtversessenen Ehegattin vom loyalen Kriegshelden zum mordenden Tyrannen. Doch die Verbrechen Macbeths bleiben nicht ungesühnt: Zum einen formiert sich um den Prinzen Malcolm Widerstand, zum anderen verliert Macbeth gebeutelt von Gewissensbissen, Selbstzweifeln und Angst zunehmend seinen Verstand. Shakespeares Drama folgt der klassischen 5-Akt-Struktur der altgriechischen Tragödien mit einem jambischen Fünfheber als Versmaß. Die Hauptfigur orientiert sich an der historischen Figur des schottischen Königs Macbeth,welcher in der historischen Forschung aber - im Gegensatz zu Shakespeares literarischer Schöpfung - als durchaus positiv beurteilt wird. It's a Shakespeare play so obviously it's not bad or anything. It has some beautiful parts and it's interesting to think about after you've read it. The story feels like it's missing a few parts - Macbeth's transition from loyal noble to regicide to king feels a bit unbelievable, I can't find out where it's actually revealed that it's Macbeth behind the murders, and it sort of goes from "Macbeth becoming king" to "everyone hates Macbeth" with nothing in between. And obviously the language is often pretty confusing, which is a big frustration but unavoidable. As a whole, it's pretty good but not astonishing, with some great language and interesting parts that make up for it. That sounds ridiculously philistine, but I'm talking about when I read it as a play in itself - the language issue kind of spoils some of the enjoyment and, apart from Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, none of the characters are interesting. Interesting things to note: the focus on secrecy in the first act - both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth monologue on it separately. The change between everything being fine and everyone hating Macbeth noted above - the way nobles in the play act in general could be read as against aristocracy I feel, they're very amoral although not explicitly. Macbeth's acceptance of his fate at the end, and his weariness with being king. The ending which shows the Anglicisation of Scotland - this was a historical thing and it's weird to note that Malcolm rides in to Scotland at the head of an English army and then institutes the title of Earl. As a comment on the edition I used (Yale Annotated Shakespeare) I didn't read the essay or introduction. The annotations were helpful but sometimes a bit over the top - in places near every word was annotated even when they were pretty common words and it didn't always help with understanding a while line.

HTML: Macbeth is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy and one of his best-known plays. Often referred to as an archetypal tale, it warns against lust for power and the betrayal of friends. Shakespeare based the play loosely on a King Macbeth of Scotland. The play is traditionally considered "cursed", and thus many actors refer to it as "The Scottish Play" to avoid naming it. .Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
