Ruthless ambition and moral scruples in Shakespeare's "Macbeth" by Lisa Kastl Pdf

Essay from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Stuttgart (Anglistik), course: Introduction to Literary Studies, language: English, abstract: Is Macbeth blinded by his ruthless ambition? Or does he still have moral scruples? This essay is an analysis of the figure Macbeth with the aim to proof that he does have moral scruples, which eventually lend credence to his character. Macbeth is certainly one of the shortest tragedies written by William Shakespeare. Still, it is one of the most well-known Shakespearean tragedies. The entire play consists of only five acts which tell the story of the ambitious Thane of Glamis Macbeth, who murders his king in order to accede to the throne. The main character shows an unusual complexity for such a concise play.

Macbeth by Joseph Pearce,William Shakespeare Pdf

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. The Ignatius Critical Editions represent a tradition-oriented alternative to popular textbook series such as the Norton Critical Editions or Oxford World Classics, and are designed to concentrate on traditional readings of the Classics of world literature. Whereas many modern critical editions have succumbed to the fads of modernism and post-modernism, this series will concentrate on tradition-oriented criticism of these great works. Edited by acclaimed literary biographer, Joseph Pearce, the Ignatius Critical Editions will ensure that traditional moral readings of the works are given prominence, instead of the feminist, or deconstructionist readings that often proliferate in other series of 'critical editions'. As such, they represent a genuine extension of consumer-choice, enabling educators, students and lovers of good literature to buy editions of classic literary works without having to 'buy into' the ideologies of secular fundamentalism. The series is particularly aimed at tradition-minded literature professors offering them an alternative for their students. The initial list will have about 15 - 20 titles. The goal is to release three books a season, or six in a year.
