It's Shakespeare. It's about madness & about how thinking about our actions changes what we do in the future.

Probably one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, upon closer examination. The careful attention to and deconstruction of gender is probably one of my favorite elements of the play.

Moderate: Misogyny, Transphobia
The transphobia is arguable but considering the Witches Three are likely transfeminized subjects in the Middle Ages, the three face transphobia and misogyny (and transmisogyny) from Banquo. The death and murder is...pretty explicit within the text.

Since reading through this earlier in the month, I've already re-read bits and sat through auditions and discussed it at length...so my opinion has changed and probably will change. BUT I'm going to try to recall my initial re-reading after many years: surprise at the appearance of so many well-known lines and confirmation why so many have Lady Macbeth on their bucket list. With most plays, it seems, re-readings result in deeper understandings and fonder feelings.
