brief synopsis

"...on the level of human evil, shakespeare's scottish tragedy is about macbeth's bloody rise to power, including the murder of the scottish king, duncan, and the guilt ridden pathology of evil deeds generating still more evil deeds. as an integral part of this thematic web is the play's most memorable character, lady macbeth. like her husband, lady macbeth's ambition for power leads her into an unnatural, phantasmagoric realm of witchcraft, insomnia and madness. but while macbeth responds to the prophesies of the play's famous trio of witches, lady macbeth goes even further by figuratively transforming herself into an unnatural, desexualized evil spirit." (from the allshakespeare guide to macbeth)
