Shakespeare's Macbeth

Macbeth is a play that is 'rich in ambiguities and ambivalence': seen by some critics as 'overpraised' and others as the 'greatest' of Shakespeare's plays. Matt Simpson places the play in the time of its creation, but focuses principally on the dramatic moral and psychological terrors that are its driving force. It is a portrayal of the complex threads of ethical responsibility and of how evil comes about.
