Orson Welles' Macbeth: Archetype And Symbol, Walt Ulbricht

University of Dayton Review

The translation of Shakespeare's plays into film has been a continual dilemma for filmmakers since Sir John Beerbohm's three-minute adaptation of King John in 1899. The question of filmed adaptation is not a matter of the motion picture camera's ability to interpret Shakespeare, for literally hundreds of silent and sound have been filmed. The problem, however, becomes one of method and approach in Shakespeare film. To what degree will the film be set from the language and the conventions of the theater? How will the film express Shakespeare's drama in such cinematic terms as movement, lighting, sound, mise-en-scene, editing, color, …

Kurosawa And The Shakespearean Moral Vision, Andrew M. Mclean

University of Dayton Review

Coming to terms with a film such as Kurosawa's Throne of Blood (1957) is crucial to the whole question of Shakespeare on film. It not only involves the study of a particular text and film and how the film director has handled Shakespeare's plot, character, and meaning, but it also focuses on larger cinematic issues concerning acting, visual image, and metaphor on film, and the manner in which complex ideas can be expressed visually. Peter Brook has observed that Throne of Blood is "perhaps the only true masterpiece inspired by Shakespeare, but it cannot properly be considered Shakespeare because it …

Kurosawa's Throne Of Blood: Critics And Our Students, Ejner J. Jensen

University of Dayton Review

Conferences of this sort are almost always delightful occasions. They bring together like-minded people to focus, for a few hours, on issues and ideas that seem to those in attendance highly important. Moreover, they provide this opportunity in an environment that liberates most of the participants from the daily round of classes and committees, an environment that frees us as well from colleagues who may think there are other subjects more valuable and even more interesting than Shakespeare and Film. Like many other features of academic life, scholarly conferences are pleasant, comfortable, eminently civilized, and (I fear) dangerously insulated from …

Revisionist Art: Macbeth On Film, Frances K. Barasch

University of Dayton Review

From one point of view, art is a matter of influence and criticism, as Harold Bloom suggests in The Anxiety of Influence. Each poet, that is, each "maker," works under the influence of antecedent arts. In creating a new work, the artist reduces the parent work and expands it to a new meaning. As Bloom puts it, "The meaning of a poem can only be another poem," and the two poems are never the same. Every new poem, Bloom continues, is "misinterpretation, … is anxiety of influence, is misprision, is a disciplined perverseness," or, in other words, it is "contraction …

Macbeth And Polanski's Theme Of Regression, Virginia Wright Wexman

University of Dayton Review

Shakespeare's Macbeth is so well known to most people who come to see film adaptations of it that we have difficulty judging what is on the screen as anything more than an interpretation, valid or otherwise, of the original dramatic material. Yet a filmmaker like Roman Polanski is an artist, just as Shakespeare himself was, and, as such, he brings his own sensibility to bear on the movies he makes. There is more of Polanski in Macbeth than might be surmised by looking at the script, for the director has expressed his point of view in this film primarily through …

The Self-Reflective Nature Of Roman Polanski's Macbeth, David Middleton

University of Dayton Review

Most people are tempted to get on the critical bandwagon which attends Roman Polanski's cinema and to announce from there that his version of Macbeth (1971) is another in a continuing series of intensely personal cinematic statements Polanski has made about the violence which pervades the human condition. Beginning in 1958 with his allegorical short subject "Two Men and a Wardrobe," evident also in his implicitly violent first feature film, Knife In The Water (1961), in Repulsion (1965), his study of psychological obsession, in Rosemary's Baby (1968), his study of literal obsession, and clearly dominating Chinatown (1974), his study of …

"The Secret'st Man Of Blood": Foreshadowings Of Macbeth In Arden Of Feversham, Robert F. Fleissner

University of Dayton Review

Probably the greatest news for the scholarly world would be the discovery of Shakespeare's manuscripts. With little chance of that, we can at least feel rewarded with new knowledge about his artistry. One of the most tantalizing problems in recent years has involved the apocryphal plays. It is generally agreed that the best of the lot is the domestic tragedy Arden of Feversham. (I retain the original old spelling, F-e-v-e-r rather than F-a-v-e-r, on the grounds that the literary spelling is of greater substantive worth than the more common spelling of the town. Also there is wordplay on "a great …

How Many Pregnancies Had Lady Macbeth?, Alice Fox

University of Dayton Review

A question not to be asked, say the literary critics. L.C. Knights' witty denunciation of Bradleian analysis became a part of our critical language when Knights thirty years ago entitled his influential essay "How Many Children Had Lady Macbeth?" Knights contended that "the only profitable approach to Shakespeare is a consideration of his plays as dramatic poems, of his use of language to obtain a total complex emotional response. Yet the bulk of Shakespeare criticism is concerned with his characters, his heroines, his love of Nature or his 'philosophy' — with everything, in short, except with the words on the …

The Thane Of Glamis Had A Wife, B. J. Bedard

University of Dayton Review

The role of Lady Macbeth frequently appears more significant in dramatic performances than the text warrants. To consider the character of Lady Macbeth at a conference whose emphasis is upon performance should be to attempt to recapture the dramatic traditions of this often performed play. Every production incorporates an interpretation of Lady Macbeth. Many major English and American Shakespearean actresses have essayed the role: Mrs. Betterton, Mrs. Barry, Mrs. Pritchard, Sarah Siddons, Ellen Terry, Fanny Kremble, Charlotte Cushman, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Judith Anderson, Vivian Leigh. The play was particularly a favorite vehicle for noted husband-and-wife acting teams. Playgoers like Pepys …
