Loyalty (trouw) and betrayal (verraad)
Loyalty and betrayal are important themes in most of the scenes in Macbeth.  
We picked a few examples.

Beginning of the play:

  • Loyal to the King and the country (Macbeth --> King/Scotland)
  • Loyal towards a friend (Banquo --> Macbeth)
  • Loyal to a husband/wife (Macbeth <--> Lady Macbeth)

Throughout the play:
  • Betrayal to the King and country (Macbeth kills King)
  • Betrayal towards a friend (Macbeth had Banquo killed by assasins)
  • Betrayal towards a husband/wife (Macbeth commits the crimes behind her back)



Slide 9 - Slide

Loyal to the King and the country: at the beginning of the play, Macbeth is loyal to King Duncan. He supports the King and defends Scotland to opposing armies.

Loyal to a friend: Banquo was very loyal to Macbeth, in the first parts of the play up until his death. Even when he suspected Macbeth wanted to kill the king.

Loyal to husband/wife: Macbeth (in the beginning) is loyal to Lady Macbeth because he listens to her and everything she tells him to do. Lady Macbeth showed that she was supportive to Macbeth and encouraged him to kill Duncan in order to clear all obstacles that would get in the way of Macbeth becoming King. They were very close and loving at the beginning of the play. 




Discuss 

Do you think similar events to those in the play Macbeth could take place today, in our times? What would be different? Are the themes in Macbeth still relevant in modern times?
We are going to take a closer look at two themes in the next lesson...

Eindscene Shakespeare in love

Eigenlijk geen vrouwen op toneel, maar de acteur die Juliet speelde kreeg baard in keel, daarom mocht 'viola' invallen. Romeo wordt gespeeld door Shakespeare die verliefd is geworden op Viola. 

Uitleg over: publiek reageerde altijd op wat er op toneel gebeurde/'special effect' bloed/ groundlings goedkoopste plekken --> hoe hoger hoe duurder en betere plek
