List of characters -- Macbeth -- The meanings of Macbeth -- The action of Macbeth -- The themes of Macbeth -- Imagery in Macbeth -- History into drama -- A Macbeth for King James -- Witches and witchcraft -- The language of Macbeth -- Staging Macbeth -- William Shakespeare --
Macbeth tells a story of crime and punishment laced with witchcraft and supernatural elements. Protected by the deceptive prophecies of the Fateful Sisters, witches or goddesses of fate, Macbeth decides to assassinate his king and take the crown. Aware of the horror to which he surrenders, he forges his terrible destiny and allows himself to be possessed by the evil that is born of the desire for power, believing himself to be invincible and eternal. This dark and haunting work, with fast-paced action, is also deeply introspective.
Through a metaphorical and sensory language, the work delves into the forbidden, explores transgression and offers the unique opportunity to share the inner life of a murderer, with its horror and mystery. In the introductory study, Ángel-Luis Pujante reveals the meaning of this game of symbols, the primitivism and the magical concept of the world that they represent, and clarifies how the poetic and intellectual height of Macbeth does not hide or soften the concrete political situation of blood and violence, ambition and disloyalty in which the action unfolds.
