It turns out to be a terrible alliance, due to the fact that Lady and Macbeth spur each other’s ambitions which, once achieved, turn out to be hollow and too highly priced. I haven’t read them all so I do reserve the right to change my Shakespeare affiliation as I work my way through the Bard’s amazing contribution to English Literature. Out of all the plays that I’ve read by William Shakespeare, Macbeth is my favorite. He is on a collision course with Duff, who becomes the only man who has a chance to stop him. Who can rest easy on the bones of their enemies when they weren’t truly their enemies, but good men more deserving? As Macbeth does more and more to friends who know too much and to those who simply stand in his way, ”Red feathers were stuck to the walls around them ” paranoia becomes his constant companion, and his weaknesses become more evidence. ”Is this a dagger which I see before me?”Īmbition achieved and yet unearned creates anxiety. He needs brew, sliding like silver snakes through his bloodstream, to give him the courage/cowardice to kill Duncan. ”He had to become that other Macbeth, the one he had buried so deep, that crazy flesh-eating corpse he had sworn he would never be again.” To be that man, he needs brew. Macbeth must become someone else, someone he fought, conquered, and left bleeding in the gutter of his past. She thinks Macbeth should listen to the prophecy and become police commissioner, but why stop there? Why not mayor, as well? She owns the casino in town, but her ambitions go way beyond controlling gambling. She has fiery red hair, elegance, and flair that makes men go weak in the knees. Macbeth is love-smitten, indeed, with the lovely woman who calls herself Lady Macbeth. ”The only person more predictable than a junkie or a moralist is a love-smitten junkie and moralist.”
Hecate knows that Macbeth is the very guy he has been looking for to derail Duncan. Hecate, always one to sense opportunity, dispatches the witch Strega to Macbeth to share a prophecy with him. Macbeth comes from the lower classes and was once completely strung out on Brew. The decision is based off the fact that everyone in positions of power have come from the well educated, upper classes. It is a job that (Mac)Duff, his longest friend, has coveted.
He is the head of SWAT, but they want to move him up to head of Organized Crime. So it all begins with a promotion that is given to a man named Macbeth. He is honest, and if given a chance, he will lead Inverness back to a happy better life. (I know, heavy, right?) Hecate is the drug lord who, behind the scenes, manipulates everything. Crime is high as more and more of the population becomes addicted to an illicit drug called Brew, made in a witch’s caldron.
Setting: Run down industrial town with toxic air and poisoned earth.
The Sam Worthington and Victoria Hill Scottish Gangster version of Macbeth (2006) is my favorite Macbeth and probably the closest cinematic version to this novel.
