The full passage is: MACDUFF. He has no children.--All my pretty ones? Did you say all?--O hell-kite!--All? What, all my pretty chickens and their dam At one fell swoop? MALCOLM. Dispute it like a man. MACDUFF. I shall do so; But I must also feel it as a man: I cannot but remember such things were, That were most precious to me.--Did heaven look on, And would not take their part? Sinful Macduff, They were all struck for thee! naught that I am, Not for their own demerits, but for mine, Fell slaughter on their souls: heaven rest them now! MALCOLM. Be this the whetstone of your sword. Let grief Convert to anger; blunt not the heart, enrage it. MacDuff has just learned from Malcolm that his entire family has been killed.
In the context of 16th and 17th century England, Puritans and other religious groups considered the theatre sinful. They believed that plays encouraged immoral behavior, distracted people from religious duties, and promoted vice through their content. Additionally, some viewed theatre as a place of vice and corruption, associated with the lower classes and a threat to social order. This belief led to the closing of theatres during the Puritan Commonwealth in the mid-17th century.
During Oliver Cromwell's rule in England, particularly during the Commonwealth period (1649-1660), laws were enacted that restricted activities seen as immoral, including dancing and theatrical performances. Puritan beliefs, which heavily influenced Cromwell's governance, deemed such activities sinful and contrary to their interpretation of Christian values. Consequently, public performances and dancing were largely banned, reflecting the moral and social reforms of the time. These restrictions were seen as legal under the regime, but they were contentious and faced opposition from those who valued cultural expression.
I believe that Miller's treatment of women was a satire of the puritanism that was dated back to that time. It was believed that women's main role was to reproduce, pray, and to understand that their place in their family monarchy was under the husband. They were looked upon a lustful, sinful, and an unwanted temptation to men. I read a quote the stated, " It is believed that the soul had two parts, the immortal masculine part, and the mortal feminine part."
