    That was pretty hysterical OP, anymore?

    In Macbeth we see an interesting portrait of the working class painted by Willian Shakespeare. As we know when James II took the throne in Britain many of the working class were just beginning to get to grips with theater. Shakespeare was creating this as a work of propaganda for the new monarch

    The porter represents the old way of life for the working class....


    I lose interest, but I think I could do it.

    No, we don't. You do know theatre was the biggest form of public entertainment for centuries before this right? Medieval plays, Greek tragedies etc.

    For the sake of your own grades please read around before you make a completely factual guess and try to pass it off as a definite fact as well as encompassing the poor examiner and anyone else into it by claiming that "we" know it.

    Yeah I have actually been to Epidauros and seen the 15,000 capacity theater there, I like the way you destroyed that but not the rest of my answer. Do you think I wasn't making it all up?

    I study Greek Tragedy for Classical studies. I know Medea better than I know Macbeth.

    I can't really challenge anything else you said because it's a sweeping introduction really and you haven't proved what you claimed nor have you disproven it. I was only pointing out a blatant falsity. Apologies if it seemed harsh but better you make the mistake now rather than tomorrow.

    Anyway I am far too old to be in this thread but hoping to get a H-Dip after my MA so I may be back in two years :P Good luck to all of you though :)

    Did anybody else think Macbeth was gay for a while? He should really have had a stable of women, or at least a few mistresses????
