مضامین مکبث

In the last activity, we looked at some modern adaptations of the Macbeth story. One of the reasons that Shakespeare’s plays have remained popular for so long is that they deal with universal themes that never seem old-fashioned.

Some of the main themes in Macbeth are:

  • Ambition. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s greed for power - their ambition - leads them to murder and, ultimately, to their deaths.
  • Guilt. Both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are filled with guilt over what they have done.
  • The supernatural. Witches, ghosts and strange predictions would have seemed a lot less unusual to audiences in Shakespeare’s times than they might do today.

 

If you are familiar with Macbeth, are there other themes you can think of in the play? Are these themes still common in television, film and drama today? Which examples can you think of?
