What effect does the repetition in Macbeth have on the play?

Answer 1

Why has Macbeth been adapted so many times?

A. The acts of violence and murder in the play are often considered old-fashioned by today's standards. B. Audiences enjoy plays in which a person in a position of power goes insane and is killed. C. Elements of Macbeth's ambition and dark rise to power are often seen as relevant to many modern-day situations. D. Modern-day playwrights are interested in changing the plot of the play to engineer a happier ending. It is a great play that is popular with audiences, so when theatres want to bring in money, they will put it on, but they also want to attract audiences that have seen the play before, so they put a new spin on it.

Answer 3

Scotland is being invaded in two places simulaneously: in the north near Forres and in the south near Fife. The invasion in the north is led by the rebel Macdonweald and a number of Irish kerns and gallowglasses and is defeated by Macbeth and Banquo. The invasion in the south is led by the king of Norway aided by the Thane of Cawdor. It is not stated who defeats this invasion, but it couldn't be Macbeth: he may be a good general but even so he cannot fight two battles hundreds of miles apart simultaneously.
