The Tragedy of Lady Macbeth

Morrow, Emma (Author)

Criticism And Interpretation Characters High School Students

Emma, a high school sophomore, writes about the underappreciation of women in readings of Macbeth. She focuses on Lady Macbeth and her ambition, writing that the "the real tragedy" in Macbeth is Lady Macbeth's desire to "unsex" herself in order to attain power for herself and her husband. The black-and-white, cut-and-paste zine also discusses Lady Macduff and the three witches and includes a bibliography.
