    Film Analysis - Macbeth (2006) For my film analysis‚ I was fortunate that there many different adaptations of the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Most of them are set in the period of the play‚ like Roman Polanski’s 2002 version‚ which I also viewed and found to be disappointing at best.

Instead‚ I opted to view and analyze the more modern

    Aspects of Macbeth What are the main sources of evil in the play? How does Shakespeare get this across to an audience?  The witches are the main evil in the play even though they only appear 4 times in the story‚ but each time they appear they always create an evil atmosphere.
