Shakespeare is well known for rewriting other people’s works and using their ideas as his own. One of his major inspirations is when he rewrote Genesis 3 and named it Macbeth. This movie retelling of the play is one of his best works because of its characters, development, irony, suspense, and larger theme.
Similar to Genesis 3, Shakespeare has crafted the characters in Macbeth to parallel Adam, Eve, and the serpent. Shakespeare has emulated Macbeth to parallel Adam, Lady Macbeth to parallel Eve, and the three witches to parallel the serpent.

This situation just makes you want to jump in the movie and tell the characters to watch out for Macbeth and his wife. In conclusion, this is how Shakespeare uses situational and dramatic irony to make the movie more
