    Running Head: Macbeth Critical Review of Macbeth by William Shakespeare [Aijaz Ahmed Shaikh] [Karachi University] Critical Review of Macbeth by William Shakespeare Introduction Not only is Macbeth by far the shortest of William Shakespeare’s great tragedies‚ but it is also anomalous in some structural respects. Like Othello (1604) and only a very few other Shakespearean plays‚ Macbeth is without the complications of a subplot. (Bradley‚ 1905) Consequently‚ the action moves forward in a

    To what extent is Iago presented by Shakespeare as a tragic villain without redeeming features? Notes to expand on later Iago is possibly one of the first villains of Shakespearean times with both redeeming and villainous qualities. In the tragic play “Othello”‚ by William Shakespeare‚ Iago is shown as an honest yet manipulative villain; which is uncommon for villains in texts written in Shakespearean times as it humanises the villain. London councils at the time thought that theatre should not

    SHAKESPEARE: Shakespeare successfully establishes the nature of honour in his historical living production Henry IV Part 1.

    William Shakespeare was alive during a time that much differed from today. Back then‚ people were ranked in society by their gender‚ race or status. Today everyone is equal no matter what religion‚ gender‚ etc. We are all equal because we are all human beings. Even though Shakespeare was living during a different time‚ he still had a similar worldview that many of us share today. While reading Shakespeare’s plays‚ I at first found it difficult to figure out what his worldview was.

    Since I’ve been reading so much Shakespeare lately‚ I can’t help but think of the two playwrights together. Shakespeare and Chekhov are my two favorite dramatists (which makes me feel a bit conventional‚ but sometimes conventions come about for good reasons)‚ and they both share a profound ability to create fully rounded‚ psychologically complex characters. What interests me most in theater--really in all literature--the way a good writer can suggest the inner life of a particular individual.

    William Shakespeare was born in Stratford upon Avon in 1564. His father sold gloves and became an important person in the town. William‚ one of eight children‚ was the eldest son and was probably educated at the local grammar school. He married when he was only 18 and his wife‚ Anne Hathaway‚ was eight years older than him. They had two girls and a boy (who died aged 11). Nobody knows how Shakespeare began to write or when he entered the theatre‚ but we know that he became a leading member of the

    market. Since foreign language films based on Shakespeare are out of the theoretic radar of Shakespeare adaptation‚ fidelity seems beyond concern‚1 and in spite of their relations with the play‚ it is not my position to do justice to the ways in which the two filmic spinoffs handle the English Bard’s authority. Rather‚ I would focus on how the two movies as independent art works make use of his cultural capital to present their hermeneutics of both Shakespeare and local cultures through the popular media
