In \u003ci\u003eAmbivalent Macbeth\u003c\/i\u003e, renowned Shakespeare scholar R. S. White argues that these differing readings result from a profoundly ambivalent play, and that this quality is a clue to its greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhite explores how radical ambivalence permeates the atmosphere, imagery, themes, and characterisation of the Scottish play. He considers Shakespeare's historical context and source material, and examines key cinematic, theatrical, and other adaptations of the play. Throughout, he argues that an open-minded acceptance of ambivalence can inspire a multitude of readings, and that this complexity helps to explain the play's intriguing longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595668013292,"sku":"9781743325483","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781743325483-ambivalent-macbeth.jpg?v=1777900130"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/professor-robert-s-white.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
