Conventions of Tragedy Death of innocents Death of the tragic hero Death of those deserving death Predictive elements: – Soliloquies, asides, dramatic irony, symbolism, foreshadowing, imagery “To be, or not to be? That is the question!”

Macbeth Superstitions There are many superstitions surrounding performances of Macbeth… Euphemism: “The Scottish Play” Avoid reciting the incantations of the witches before a performance! Ritual: leave the theatre building, spin around three times, spit, curse, and then knock to be allowed back in Or: quote from Hamlet, (Act 1, Sc. 4): “Angels and ministers of grace defend us!”

Origins of Superstition: More sword-fighting than other plays = more chances for injury Globe Theatre burned down during a performance of Macbeth (wrong – Henry VIII) Legend has it that the first actor to play Macbeth died shortly after the first performance The play is cursed because Shakespeare used actual witch spells
