Plays which don't have people in difficult situations are boring. Therefore all plays have characters in difficult situations. Like for example being at a dinner party your wife is throwing when you see the ghost of your best friend who you just had bumped off. I'd call that a difficult situation. How does Macbeth handle it? He loses it and starts babbling. Or for example throwing a dinner party and suddenly having your husband lose it and start talking to his chair and hinting at people he's murdered. Another difficult situation, I'd say. How does Lady M handle it? First by trying to laugh it off and saying that your hubby has always been slightly loony then throwing the guests out the door.
