Macbeth/YMMV


  • Alternate Character Interpretation: As usual with Shakespeare, there are an absurd number of ways everyone can be portrayed, and which comes across most strongly depends in large part upon the production or the reader.
    • In particular, Roman Polanski's film interpretation has a rather cynical interpretation of the characters Ross and Donalbain.
    • How about just throwing out the play's depiction of the witches as crones and interpreting them as standard Hecate Sisters?
  • Evil Is Cool
  • Evil Is Sexy: Lady Macbeth.
    • Always?
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: For James I.
  • Magnificent Bitch: The three witches.
  • Squick: Lady Macbeth's remark about smashing an infant's skull after ripping it from her breast.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Middleton's additions to the play.
  • The Woobie: First Duncan, then MacDuff.
