Macbeth is the most compact of Shakespeare's great tragedies. Of those tragedies, it comes closest to the Aristotelian model, yet it is also the most imaginative, featuring supernatural beings and events and a protagonist haunted by his own thoughts and deeds. We will set the play in its generic and its historical context, with Shakespeare setting out to win patronage from his new king, James I. We will follow the tragic career of Macbeth, whom Shakespearean scholar Harold Bloom claims "we are unable to resist identifying with," and analyse speeches both famous and infamous.We will read the play in class, with written assignments and presentation preparation as homework. The culminating task will be a text-based essay. The text can be found online here: https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/macbeth/read/
