Answer 1

Macbeth is a very complicated and short er than most of Shakespeare's plays and has been subject to many interpretations in English classes everywhere.

Here is one highly interesting one:

-------------------------------------------------
The play is the shortest of all the tragedies. It is very intense, and the focus is on the psychological effect of the crimes upon Macbeth and the nature of the relationship between Macbeth and his wife. People involved in staging this play have shared with me two important insights. At the end of the play everyone on stage cheers the death of the tyrant Macbeth; if the production has been successful, the audience doesn't cheer. Why not? Why is our reaction different? The second insight is about the relationship between Macbeth and his wife. They are a lot like other famous criminal couples, like Bonnie and Clyde or Leopold and Loeb. Each one of these people by himself or herself is incapable of committing real evil, but together they form this symbiotic relationship in which each supplies psychologically what the other lacked and become a deadly combination.
