  • What If Lady Macbeth Were Pregnant?: Amativeness, Procreation, and Future Dynasty in Maqbool
    Asian Shakespeares on Screen: Two Films in Perspective, special issue, edited by Alexa Huang, Borrowers and Lenders 4.2 (Spring/Summer 2009). What If Lady Macbeth Were Pregnant?: Amativeness, Procreation, and Future Dynasty in Maqbool William C. Ferleman, Oklahoma State University Abstract In Maqbool, Vishal Bhardwaj's unusually perceptive rewriting of Macbeth, an emphasis on Macbeth's future dynasty is rather conspicuously developed and reinforced (Trivedi 2007, 153). Murder and betrayal are not of much consequence in the modern Mumbai criminal underworld; these acts are quite simply part of the Mafia trade, and Macbeth/Maqbool is from the start an ignoble, cold-blooded murderer. It is love (or rather, sexual desire) and not treacherous murder that is the predominant transgression in Maqbool. The transgressive love affair between Macbeth/Maqbool and Lady Macbeth/ Nimmi (including Nimmi's scandalous pregnancy) is developed as a key motif in the film. Maqbool seeks to combat the policemen's prophecy that Kaka's (Banquo's) children will attain political rule in the future. Maqbool fights for his own future dynasty and is not seriously concerned about his personal political rule within the Mumbai gang. The film concerns forbidden sexuality, procreation, and Maqbool's desperate but determined hope for a future dynasty. Freud claimed that in Shakespeare's Macbeth, Macbeth is not grossly concerned about his personal political ambition; Macbeth is perhaps primarily preoccupied with his future dynasty. "Macbeth is incensed by this decree of destiny," Freud writes. "He is not content with the satisfaction of his own ambition, he desires to found a dynasty and not to have murdered for the benefit of strangers" (Freud 1991, 32).

  • Macbeth” the Man Macbeth
    THE PLAY “MACBETH” THE MAN MACBETH * THE FACTS OF THE PLAY WRITTEN: Shakespeare wrote the story of MACBETH in 1606. However, “it is probable that the surviving play is an abridged text for a Court performance in the summer of 1606 before King James I”, three years after the death of Queen Elizabeth I and the rise of James to the throne. It is important to note that James I of Great Britain and Ireland had been serving as James VI, King of Scotland when Elizabeth I died; he was her nearest surviving relative and thus rose to the throne. So fond of theater was James I that as soon as he was crowned in 1603 he became the patron of Shakespeare’s “Lord Chamberlain’s Men” appropriately changing the company’s name to “The King’s Men”. A play dealing with early Scottish history -- indeed the only one of Shakespeare’s plays to be devoted to that theme -- would have clearly been done in honor of James’s Scottish origins. Furthermore, James traced his ancestry to Macbeth’s fellow-thane Banquo and took an avid interest in witchcraft, having published a book on the topic in 1599. Page 2 PUBLISHED: The play was first published as the sixth of the tragedies in the First Folio of 1623. Because the text is unusually short compared with the other tragedies, it is thought to have been cut for performance at some point between 1606 and 1623. The play also contains some passages which have long been held to be interpolations from another hand: the passages involving Hecate, Queen of the Witches, which are written mainly in octosyllabic couplets rather than in iambic pentameter.

  • Shakespeare's Isabella and Cressida on the Modern Stage
    ''Shrewd Tempters with their Tongues..,: Shakespeare's Isabella and Cressida on the Modern Stage Anna Kamaralli A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts, School of Theatre, Film and Dance of the University ofNSW In partial fulfillment of the degree ofMA(Hons) 2002 ii Abstract Shakespeare's Isabella (Measure for Measure) and Cressida (Troilus and Cressida) share an unusual critical and theatrical history. Unappreciated o:ri stage, contentious on the page, they have traditionally provoked discomfort among critics, wl).o l).ave ~~€::J:'! quicker to see them as morally reprehensible than to note their positive qualities. Seemingly at polar opposites of the personal and moral spectrum, the two share an independence of spirit, a refusal to conform to the desires and requirements of men, and a power to polarize opinion. This thesis considers the ways in which attitudes to Isabella and Cressida on the English­ speaking stage have shifted, over the latter half of the twentieth century, in the light of an escalating public awareness of issues of feminism and gender politics. Against a close reading of Shakespeare's text, both literary and performance criticism are examined, together with archival material relating to theatre productions of the plays, primarily by the Royal Shakespeare Company. The thesis concludes that in the case of both characters a change is indeed discemable. For Isabella, it is informed by the idea that the ethical code to which she adheres deserves respect, and that her marriage to the Duke is neither inevitable, nor inevitably welcomed by her. Cressida has undergone a more dramatic change: she is no longer assumed to be constitutionally immoral, and her behaviour is examined without preconception.
