LESSON I: MUSINGS ON MACBETH


NATURE vs. MORALITY


(internal conflict precedes)

grand state of cosmic pessimism

caught up, an idea of fate
nihilistic statements to reconcile
no good, no bad, no mistakes

a compressed view:
destruction by the hand of
a series of transgressions,
moral dislocation & badly timed decisions

ability too:
engage in flattery - a polished discourse
accommodate yourself to
whichever audience is put forth

(i can see the future)

arrogant & immune

hadn't thought things through
all the implications...
temporal point of view

you became inhuman
liberated from internal constraints
emotionless & calculated
belated resolve will come too late
