[Abstract]
A Study of Macbeth from the viewpoint of political-social dimension
Hyo-Chun Park
This paper focused on the stream of the political power in Macbeth. When we consider Macbeth's social position and military power, the fact that Macbeth have a political ambitions on his part is not surprising thing. As we are able to see in political-history plays Macbeth has political elements many, nevertheless Macbeth is not history play but tragedy obviously. But Macbeth has a good deal of the political-history plays elements. It means that these elements takes a serious role in this play and in other words, Macbeth has a political tone strongly. Therefore, I saw the rank of Macbeth's social position was in deep relations with his tragedy. As the Shakespeare's kingship plays, Macbeth's over status ambitions for the throne formed one of the causes of his tragedy. At that time Scotland's political environments were very unsteady. The rebellion of Macdonwald and of Thane of Cawdor show that her political unsteadiness come to the climax. I think that these are the paradoxical events about Duncan's ability. By the unconfirmed reasons of rebellions, we cannot but bear questions in mind against the ability of Duncan as a king. In the first place, it seems to me that he neither could fulfil his subjects' various political desires against their sovereign nor could offer encouraging policies for people's happiness. Secondary, Duncan is deficient in charisma. It is a most serious deficiency in reign as a sovereign.
Consequently we also can regard the case of treason of Macbeth as a phenomenon of all possibilities that are capable of being occurred by the variability of political power. The case that Macbeth accede to the throne of Scotland seemed doubtfully to all subjects, but his coronation was an unavoidable thing in such political environments. Because the stream of the political power concentrated in his hands. In the event, Macbeth's failure is caused by misuse of his political power. And his an obsession from a crime, are an other serious cause in his political defeat. If he ruled his kingdom reasonably and peacefully for his people, he never be defeated by Malcolm's side.
