• 导读
  • Macbeth is an anomaly among Shakespeare's tragedies in certain critical ways. It is short: more than a thousand lines shorter than Othello and King Lear, and only slightly more than half as long as Hamlet. This brevity has suggested to many critics that the received version is based on a heavily cut source, perhaps a prompt-book for a particular performance.

  • 内容简介
  • 此剧是莎士比亚的一出悲剧,也被认为是他最为黑暗也最为有力的作品。场景设置在苏格兰,戏剧夸大了具有腐蚀性的心理和政治效果。此剧可能写于1599到1606年之间。最有可能写于詹姆士一世统治时期到詹姆士六世即位之前。

    Macbeth is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare, and is considered one of his darkest and most powerful works. Set in Scotland, the play illustrates the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake.

  • 作者简介
  • 威廉·莎士比亚(William Shakespeare,1564-1616年),欧洲文艺复兴时期英国最重要的作家,杰出的戏剧家和诗人。他创作了大量脍炙人口的文学作品,在欧洲文学史上占有特殊的地位,被喻为“人类文学奥林匹斯山上的宙斯”。 他亦跟古希腊三大悲剧家埃斯库罗斯(Aeschylus)、索福克里斯(Sophocles)及欧里庇得斯(Euripides),合称为戏剧史上四大悲剧家。

    William Shakespeare ( 26 April 1564–23 April 1616) was an English poet, playwright, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of around 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, of which the authorship of some is uncertain. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
