Macbeth is often read in a singular fashion: either as a cautionary
morality tale warning against ambition, or as a psychological study
of evil. In Ambivalent Macbeth, renowned Shakespeare scholar R.S.
White argues that these differing readings result from a profoundly
ambivalent play, and that this quality is a clue to its
greatness.White explores how radical ambivalence permeates the
atmosphere, imagery, themes and characterisation of 'the Scottish
play'. He considers Shakespeare's historical context and source
material, and examines key cinematic, theatrical and other
adaptations of the play. Throughout, he argues that an open-minded
acceptance of ambivalence can inspire a multitude of readings, and
that this complexity helps to explain the play's intriguing
longevity.
