Talk:Macbeth

Film Adaptation
Scotland, PA is a really fun adaptation of Macbeth. Set in 1970’s Pennsylvania around a fast food restaurant “Duncan’s” 2603:8000:7F00:9E9F:7D49:8AF6:FC52:C7A1 (talk) 03:41, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

The sentence "When Banquo asks of his own fortunes, the witches respond paradoxically, saying that he will be less than Macbeth, yet happier, and less successful, yet more" kinda sucks. The play said Banquo would be "less happy, yet much happier", and "lesser than Macbeth, yet much greater". This sentence should be changed so that it's clearer on what it's conveying.

 * Yes, I agree with BananaCat2. I thought the best response was to remove the sentence entirely, just leaving the plot point intact. I've edited accordingly. AndyJones (talk) 12:24, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

The method of Lady Macbeth's suicide is undisclosed
Generally, plot summaries should avoid saying that some off-stage detail is "unclear" or "undisclosed," because it mixes analysis with narration, and no work is perfectly detailed. Also, the opening sentence might say "tragic play" rather than "tragedy." 67.180.143.89 (talk) 17:46, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I would have agreed with you, except that the plot summary does not say what you say it says. The relevant sentence in the synopsis says: "Before Macbeth's opponents arrive, he receives news that Lady Macbeth has killed herself, causing him to sink into a deep and pessimistic despair...". So I cannot tell what your point is. Can you explain more clearly what you want to change? AndyJones (talk) 12:34, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I've found it. It's two paragraphs later. I'll remove it. AndyJones (talk) 12:37, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Done. However I don't agree with the suggestion to change "tragedy" to "tragic play". We've always defined the plays according to the categories in the First Folio. AndyJones (talk) 12:42, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Indian movie adaptation
The Indian super hit movie Maqbool by film director Vishal Bharadwaj is an adaptation of Macbeth. The director made a few changes: The three witches were replaced by 2 corrupt police constables, Lady Macbeth was removed and instead the wife of the Mafia Don Abbaji (King Duncan) is seen plays the conniving woman and has an adulterous affair with Irrfan Khan who essays the titular role, and their affair is the reason why Maqbool kills Abbaji.

Capitalize the "contrary" in the sentence "contrary to popular myth, Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth is not the unluckiest play as superstition likes to portray it." LangstonMitchell (talk) 04:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Agreed. ✅ AndyJones (talk) 13:29, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
