It shows us his character and how he is so consumed by he lust for power that he knows he can't even stop to mourn his wife. The sentiment that life is full of sound and fury signifying nothing is an indication of his failing morality and subsequent disregard for human life. I think it is a nice testament to his current state of being. Nowhere near pissy enough for Hamlet.
2. Interesting question. I'll think about it and get back to you. The Scottish Play is
my favorite Shakespeare and my favorite stage play. Comparing it to "Hamlet" is one of my favorite past times...mostly because I love to harp on the way it beats "Hamlet" any day.
in I think 1954, I saw a production of the Scottish Play on the teevee I was about 5 and I put my blankie on my head, held down by mother's embroidery hoop, and played Lady McB for a week Thank gods we had no video cam back then :rofl:
