This week on Crash Course Literature, John Green is continuing to talk about Shakespeare's dark, bloody, Scottish play, Macbeth. This time around, we're looking at the play's characters operate, how the play deals with gender, and the Macbeth as an early anti-hero. He's no Walter White, but you can definitely love to hate him. Or hate to love him. Or both!

"I was a c-section baby" - boring - generic - unoriginal "I was from my mother's womb untimely ripped" - metal as hell - much cooler - could be the fulfillment of a witches prophecy

@MrJonLott 6 лет назад

When I was in my senior year of high school, I played Lady Macbeth in our production of Macbeth. It was an all boys school.

Jon Lott Well that's historically accurate to the original production at least

@vickymc9695 6 лет назад

I always thought that lady Macbeth's kids must have been infant mortalitys, as she never talks about them as older than "babes". And it was really common for children to die before the age of 5.

@whalesharko4465 5 лет назад

I always thought it was theoretical, like, they had a kid that died and she was saying "I'm so behind killing Duncan I would've killed that child myself if it helped"

@piggylady225 4 года назад

I’m not sure about the play, but I know the real-life Macbeth and Lady Macbeth had a son named Luloch (actually, I think he was Lady M’s son from a previous marriage). He actually was partially responsible for offing his stepdad and became king for a solid few months, during which he managed to earn himself the epithet of “Luloch the Idiot.” Honestly, researching the history behind the play was more entertaining than reading the play itself.

@anthonyhinkel5878 6 лет назад

The Wyrd Sisters - Wyrd is an old norse term very similar to fate. If something was 'wyrd' it was 'fated to happen'. Just, putting that out there. They are the fate sisters, but I think that's the original debate anyways...

@BrorealeK 6 лет назад

Definitely "weird" has some sort of connection to magic and fate that may also connect it with the nordic term "wyrd." It's just hard to prove that that's the case in 17th Century England.

@FroehligGirlz 5 лет назад

I put this same comment out in the mains, but I want to put it here, too. The Wyrd rune is the blank one. It's all kinda hearsay, but the futhark (aka alphabet... Yes, rune stones are just really old Scrabble tiles) but it seems as if the divination/magic, and the Wyrd, got added around, like 1250-1300. Prior, it seems, they were more just about stories and concepts and harvests and coping and respectful burials. They were not Christian, though, so yeah, they were "evil," (Christians might call them Pagan, but um, no) and thusly developed supernatural powers, and the Wyrd rune. From what I gather, it signifies the yet unknown, but the fact that it exists definitely implies some predestination.

@TuanNguyen-ko9wz 5 лет назад

@939bb 6 лет назад

Macbeth is the 17th century's "Breaking Bad." Both Walter White and Macbeth, starting out as maybe good people, resort to violence and killing to achieve their goals. White becomes "Heisenberg" and Macbeth becomes king. It doesn't end well for either of them.The will to power corrupts.

@garymcmascelyn 6 лет назад

BDoug "Breaking Bad" is the 21st Century "Macbeth" There - I made it all better

@BrianHutzellMusic 6 лет назад

There is something fascinating about watching a character-real or fictional-slowly (or sometimes rapidly) cross over to the dark side. Literary examples include Clyde Griffiths (American Tragedy), Michael Corleone (The Godfather), and of course Frankenstein’s monster. In film, a recent famous example is Anakin Skywalker.

@purpandorange 4 года назад

I actually really like how Macbeth continues to fight when he realizes he will not survive his fight with Macduff, like even after he realized that he no longer has a hope he continues to fight. To me, that shows he is still a warrior despite becoming a butcher and losing everything.

@stacysilver5208 6 лет назад

Even though I had to read this for school, I enjoyed every minute of it. We acted out the play in my class and I got to read the "out out damn spot" speech. My favorite Shakespeare play out of the four I've read. I'm planning on reading more Shakespeare for sure though.

This is the most tasteful and unoffensive discussion of gender roles I have ever encountered, and I feel the forum of literature was a fantastic place for it. Excellent job.

Shout out to all those who agree that the C-section reveal is a cop out. Dude still had a mother, are we saying that C-section babies aren't 'born'? But y'know, that's just like, my opinion man.

@eruyommo 6 лет назад

Remember, it's the 1600's and poetry.

@second0banana 6 лет назад

I mean, yes, but for MacDuff to have been a c-section baby at the time it would have meant his mother was already dead. They didn't do c-sections on living mother's to save babies back then. When the play is set that kind of surgery would be 100% fatal. So it's not just that he was a c-section baby, but that his mother was dead before he was born.

@jesusbrito5165 6 лет назад

Is not saying that yet in some way it is, like it wasn't the same to be born in marriage or out of it yet is poetry so is not meant literaly doesn't matter if Macbeth the character took it that way. But the most important thing is that hundreds of years have pass the conceptions of what woman born meant and how it could be read have changed for sure back then people believe as real lots of things we no longer do or find politically correct je and common phrases or methaphorical uses of everyday life to refer to things also change or fall to desuse like the original meaning of bastard jeje in short you can't make demands of sense to our mindset's standars to something written in times so far behind you can only research and understand how and why it made sense to them back then

@HughDingwall 6 лет назад

It's a cop-out, but it's a very mythically resonant kind of cop-out. Same with Birnam Wood, really.

@rainydaylady6596 6 лет назад

I've always thought that if Macbeth hadn't run into the witches that none of the rest would have happened. Or did their predictions just speed things up? Would Macbeth's success have gone to his head and made him think he was good king material anyway?

@diabeticparxie 6 лет назад

He never thought that he would be king before the witches, and he probably would have been content being a higher thane. But Lady Macbeth may have convinced him that he could become king anyway. It is interesting to think about.

@ryanscottmccormick191 6 лет назад

I think that as a middle class elite he is born into the desire to consolidate power for himself.

@ryanscottmccormick191 6 лет назад

So, are you accusing the WOMEN in the play, like a consolidated, proverbial "Eve", of luring Macbeth/Adam to his demise?

@diabeticparxie 6 лет назад

As it was written to appease a new male king after a female ruler, by an English man, it shows that time periods sexism and misogyny.

@diabeticparxie 6 лет назад

So you are putting the sexism of a time period that is now over, onto me

@talideon 6 лет назад

Wait... Macbeth's an antihero? No, definitely not. Being an antihero would require him to do good in spite of lacking heroic attributes. He's ultimately a villain, even if he starts out as a flawed hero. He doesn't even raise himself to the level of an antihero or antivillain.

@sststr 6 лет назад

Babylon 5 also dealt with the forgiveness issue, both in a big picture way with Londo, in a very Macbeth kind of way, feeling he cannot change his course after he starts dealing with the Shadows, and in little picture ways like the episode "Passing Through Gethsemane" where Edward explicitly asks if there is enough forgiveness for his sins.

If you'd like to see this Macbeth trope gender flipped, I'd recommend 'Gargoyles' . The whole series is worth watching, but the episodes relevant to this Crash Course are 'The Gathering' Parts 1-5 and 'City of Stone' Parts 1- 4.

@AlexPope1668 6 лет назад

Thanks, John, those were great vids - especially this one. Nailed all the salient points as far as I'm concerned. Interesting that the concept of manliness (and womanliness) was complex even then. And yes - it is shocking how many recent shows mirror the Macbeths and their difficult rise to power. It's a powerful story.

@cramerfloro5936 5 лет назад

I watched Macbeth recently, and there the Witches were also ambiguous about their gender. They all had a long tail hair, they wear male uniforms for an insane asylum (and the clothes they stripped from a dead soldier), two were played by women, one was played by a man who acted out an.. ehm.. unappropriate scene that implied "him" to have a male sexual organ, but he was still talked to as "Sorera" by his sisters

@poseidonc1259 6 лет назад

Macbeth is my personal favorite play of all time. Though it is short, all of its elements come together & twist away again, & it’s questions are put to the audience in such a way that it harrows my soul. Banquo & lady Macbeth are like alternate versions of Macbeth if his choices had been different. Even the treacherous Thane of Cawdor seems to foreshadow Macbeth’s story in a subtle way. “There’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face. He [Thane of Cawdor] was a gentleman on whom I built an absolute trust.” - King Duncan

@bean0329 6 лет назад

How would Macbeth and Lady Macbeth act if the roles were reversed? Would Lady Macbeth feel the same if she was the killer? I'm sure this has already been theorized in a gender-swapped version of the play.

@owbu 6 лет назад

he doesnt really have a journey though :)

@vathek5958 6 лет назад

Francis Urquhart and his wife are even more like Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, although a little less contemporary (the characters of the British books and TV series upon which the US House of Cards is based). Francis is also encouraged and to an extent manipulated by his wife far more than Frank, although he doesn't take long to fall.

@MzShonuff123 6 лет назад

Frank doesn’t begin as a hero on the show, though. By the time we catch up to him, he’s already insufferable

@aliasjon8320 6 лет назад

He doesn't have any of Macbeth's instabilities and originally good naturedness tho.

@austinriley230 6 лет назад

Nah, Frank Underwood's literary ancestor is definitely Richard III. Though yeah, he's married to Lady M; it's not a one-to-one retelling. Macbeth is a good man who goes bad, and Underwood is never good.

It's interesting exploring the ideas of masculinity and femininity in the play. Last year I actually got to see a college production of Macbeth that, because of how many people auditioned, was genderswaped. That was, of course, the only time I'd seen Macbeth, but it was a great show and offered insight for these last couple episodes.

They also had malcom and banquo's kid be girls, that was cool

An interesting and different analysis of the scene referred to at 8:22 is that Malcolm wanted to make sure Macduff wasn’t trying to install him as a puppet. He ensures that Macduff really does want the best for Scotland by telling him what a terrible person he (Malcolm) is. Eventually, Macduff realizes that this picture of Malcolm would be worse for Scotland even than the current reign of Macbeth, and gives up trying to get him to be king. Now that Malcolm is sure of Macduff’s good intentions, he gives up the game and agrees to go back to Scotland with him.

I always thought "Not bourne of a woman" was a plothole. If you were a c-section baby, you still came from a woman... and were born, so you were bourne of her. BTW, I think it's worth covering Natsume Soseki's Kokoro... to get some more international lit in here. He's fit well with some of Mark Twain's works, and say Charles Dicken's Hard Times also Les Miserable... it's that sort of same vein since it talks largely about industrialization.

Feels like Lady Macbeth kinda has some similarities to Gunnhild from the Icelandic sagas (although, she was a rumored witch). From an undergrad essay I wrote: 'Jochens states that Gunnhild is “the prototype of evil and revenging women in the Old Norse corpus, Queen Gunnhildr looms behind all imaginary and possible real women of this kind."'
