“Macbeth”
“’Macbeth’ is one of Shakespeare’s most poplar and shocking, yet thoughtful plays,” says Bibee. “It explores similar material--murder, guilt and madness-as do his other tragedies.”
“Macbeth,” along with “Lear,” “Othello” and “Hamlet,” is often referred to as one of Shakespeare's four principle tragedies. Many critics cite “Macbeth” as Shakespeare's darkest tragedy. The plot centers on Macbeth's bloody rise to power, which includes murder and guilt. The guilt generates more evil deeds. Like her husband, Lady Macbeth pursues power, but her chase leads her into madness, while Macbeth’s ultimately leaves him alone, a victim of his ambition.
