He sacrificed his fellow men as his ambition conquered his conscience.” The play is based on actual history, although Shakespeare made no effort to be accurate. There really was a king of Scot land called Macbeth (but not a wicked one) and King Duncan really lived. Shakespeare merely took real characters and historical situations and combined them to make his play. “Macbeth was doing all right,” said Neuslbaum. “He had earned •fame on the battlefield and his king appreciated him. Duncan said, ‘You are a great guy. I like vou so I am going to give you honors’. “But Macbeth had ambitions and delusions of grandeur. At first he thought that the predic tions of the weird sisters, who represent fate, were just so much nonsense tout when those same predictions started coming true he couldn’t wait. “I’m going to get to the top regardless,’ he thought and pro ceeded to plot the murder of the king whose throne he was sup posed to inherit. “Macbeth weakened, however, and consulted Tiis wife. “But Lady Madbeth was not weak,” Neusbaum continued. “She said, ‘Chop him down,’ so they chopped. And Madbeth, with his hands once red could stop at nothing. He could not sit easily on his throne. There had been a prediction that Banquo’s sons, not Madbeth’s, would be the fu ture kings. Madbeth eliminates Banquo but .misses Banqo’s son Fleance. “At this point Madbeth becomes a tyrant. People are suspicious of him and an underground move ment starts up. Macduff, a lord, joins the rightful king, Malcolm, in England. Madbeth in his fury has Macdufif’s family murdered.' And Macduiff comes back for revenge. He succeeds, but well! “Lady Macbeth, whose now self-sufficient husband no longer consults her about his brush-offs and rujb.-outs, has nothing to keep her busy so she begins to torood. She walks in her sleep, eventual ly goes mad and commits suir cide,’—-concluded Neuslbaum. The metamorphosis of Mac beth will be unfolded on the stage of SchiWato - Auditorium ..March 29 and 30.
