Synopsis "Macbeth (in French)"

Macbeth est une tragédie de William Shakespeare écrite en 1606 et publiée dans le premier in-folio en 1623. Le sujet est inspiré d'un personnage des chroniques - Macbeth, roi d'Écosse - mais la tragédie comporte un grand nombre d'éléments surnaturels qui s'écartent de la biographie historique du roi des Pictes qui régna en Écosse de1040 à 1057. Selon la légende, prononcer le mot Macbeth dans un théâtre porte malheur. C'est pourquoi les acteurs et actrices évitent de prononcer son nom, ce qui vouerait sa représentation à l'échec, et utilisent la périphrase, La pièce écossaise ( The Scottish Play ou Bard's play ). Lady Macbeth est considérée par beaucoup comme un des rôles féminins les plus difficiles du répertoire occidental. Tenaillée par le remords après le meurtre de Duncan, elle sombre dans la folie, est soumise à des crises de somnambulisme et d'hallucination (lavant obsessionnellement ses mains qu'elle imagine pleines de sang), et finit par se suicider.

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
