Description:
Macbeth is often read in a singular fashion: either as a cautionary
morality tale warning against ambition, or as a psychological study
of evil. In Ambivalent Macbeth, renowned Shakespeare scholar R.S.
White argues that these differing readings result from a profoundly
ambivalent play, and that this quality is a clue to its greatness.
White explores how radical ambivalence permeates the atmosphere,
imagery, themes and characterisation of 'the Scottish play'. He
considers Shakespeare's historical context and source material, and
examines key cinematic, theatrical and other adaptations of the play.
Throughout, he argues that an open-minded acceptance of ambivalence
can inspire a multitude of readings, and that this complexity helps to
explain the play's intriguing longevity.
