Is it a work of nihilistic despair, \"a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing\", or is it a cautionary tale warning of the dangers of Machiavellianism and relativism? Does it lead to hell and hopelessness, or does it point to a light beyond the darkness? This critical edition of Shakespeare's classic psychological drama contains essays by some of today's leading critics, exploring Macbeth as a morality play, as a history play with contemporary relevance, and as a drama that shows a vision of evil and that grapples with the problem of free will.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoseph Pearce\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of numerous literary works including \u003ci\u003eLiterary Converts\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Quest for Shakespeare\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eShakespeare on Love\u003c\/i\u003e, and the editor of the Ignatius Critical Editions series.
