    Duality In Macbeth

    • 8 Pages

    Shakespeare’s play, ‘Macbeth’ (written in 1606) and Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella, ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ (written in 1886) both revolve around the theme, ‘Duality’. This is the quality or state of having two parts, a dichotomy and in this case two personalities. This is shown throughout Macbeth but is uncovered in the final chapter of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Many factors contribute to why both Shakespeare and R. L. Stevenson had their play and novella based on duality and the period of time it was set in, contributes most to this. ‘Macbeth’ was set in the Jacobean era (1567 – 1625) whereas ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ was set in the Victorian era (1837 – 1901).…

    Shakespeare presents an interesting dynamic in Macbeth wherein Lady Macbeth acts as the proverbial devil on the shoulder of her husband, constantly whispering in his ear. Though Macbeth is introduced as a loyal warrior under King Duncan of Scotland, he ponders murdering his king almost immediately after he is told by three witches that he will one day rule the country. Even so, Macbeth’s resolve to carry out this crime is shaky at best. Once his wife gets into his ear, however, that shaky resolution is ever so slowly strengthened. Lady Macbeth begins her work by insisting that to not kill King Duncan would be cowardly.…
