The Real Macbeth

Possibly of royal descent himself, he acquired a direct claim to the throne through his wife, Gruoch; she was a granddaughter of Kenneth III, who had been overthrown by Duncan's ancestor Malcolm II.
(Right: portrait of Duncan I)

19. The Real Macbeth
Macbeth represented northern elements in the population who were opposed to the ties with the Saxons advocated by Duncan.
Macbeth was defeated in 1054 by Siward, earl of Northumbria, who regained the southern part of Scotland on behalf of Malcolm Canmore, Duncan's son.
Malcolm himself regained the rest of the kingdom after defeating and killing Macbeth in the battle of Lumphanan. He then succeeded to the throne as Malcolm III.

20. The Real Macbeth
William Shakespeare's version of the story comes from the accounts of Raphael Holinshed and Hector Boece.

21. Holinshed’s Chronicles

He was given the ambitious project of chronicling British history from the time of the Great Flood (approx BC) to Queen Elizabeth (reigning ).

23. “The Scottish Play”
There are many superstitions centred on the belief that the play is somehow “cursed”.

24. “The Scottish Play” Explanation #1
Shakespeare is said to have used the spells of real witches in his text, purportedly angering the witches and causing them to curse the play.

25. “The Scottish Play” Explanation #2
Struggling theatres or companies would often put on this popular 'blockbuster' in an effort to save their flagging fortunes.
However, it is a tall order for any single production to reverse a long-running trend of poor business.
Therefore, the last play performed before a theatre shut down was often Macbeth, and thus the growth of the idea that it was an 'unlucky' play.

26. “The Scottish Play” Explanation #3
Theatre companies may have used Macbeth as a back-up play if they were to lose an actor and were not able to perform the production originally planned for the performance.
Macbeth requires fewer actors (when doubling of characters for actors occurs) and has the least amount of text for the actors to memorize.
Macbeth may have been the play kept in theatre companies' back pockets, just in case some bad luck were to occur prior to any planning of a performance.

27. “The Scottish Play”
A large mythology has built up surrounding this superstition, with countless stories of accidents, misfortunes and even deaths, all mysteriously taking place during runs of Macbeth (or by actors who had uttered the name).
Many actors will not mention the name of the play aloud, referring to it instead as "The Scottish play".

32. “The Scottish Play”: A Chronology of Misfortunes
The indestructible Charlton Heston, in an outdoor production in Bermuda in 1953, suffered severe burns in his groin and leg area from tights that were accidentally soaked in kerosene.

33. Several methods exist to dispel the curse, depending on the actor.
“The Scottish Play”
Several methods exist to dispel the curse, depending on the actor.
One is to immediately leave the building the stage is in with the person who uttered the name, walk around it three times, spit over their left shoulders, say an obscenity then wait to be invited back into the building.
Another popular "ritual" is to leave the room, knock three times, be invited in, and then quote a line from Hamlet.
Yet another is to recite one of Shylock's monologues from The Merchant of Venice.

Nona - spun the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle. Her Greek equivalent was Clotho;
Decima - measured the thread of life with her rod. Her Greek equivalent was Lachesis;
Morta - was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of a person's death. When she cut the thread with "her abhorrèd shears", someone on Earth died. Her Greek equivalent was Atropos.

40. The Witches Represent darkness, chaos and confusion.
“Fair is foul and foul is fair”- a contradiction.
Evil is good, while good is evil.

41. The Witches
“Double, double toil and trouble” – they cause more grief for the mortals around them.

Shakespeare be representing here?

Take a moment to reflect on this quote again. Have you ever experienced a time in your life where someone acted one way and was actually completely the opposite? Explain that situation. If you have been fortunate enough to not have a situation like that– then tell me how you WOULD handle a situation like that. Would you de-friend said person? Would you let them know that you know about their secret ways? Explain.
