Macbeth: Context
Subjects / English / William Shakespeare - Macbeth
Macbeth is a play that is full of action. By the time the final scene is played out the audience have seen a number of violent and gory deaths, ending with the death of Macbeth himself. The play examines how an excess of ambition can destroy life. Macbeth turns to crime to realise his plan to become King, and the play teaches the audience that crime will be punished. Despite the fact that this lesson is easily recognised by the audience, understanding the context in which the play was written can throw further light on events and emotions, and can give us a deeper appreciation of Shakespeare's intentions.
