Prof. Demmon' Opinion OF Shakespsafs's
Lady Macbeth

Prof. Demmon' Opinion OF Shakespsare'
Lady Macbeth
A smaller audience than usual
greeted Prof. Dsmmon last night No
doubt the icy walks tended much to
keep people from the University kx.
tension lecture rather than lack OF
interest IN the tragedy Macbeth. The
lecture WAS prelaced by . talk on
romantic tragedy. He said there was
no doabt the text OF the play was
play house text aud that there were not
thirty ilnes Of the play remaining -
Shakespeare wrote It, Tho play WAS
produced six years after the death OF
Shakespeare. The Hecate scenes are
thought TO DO interpretations. They
do not have the same style OF Shaker
peare.
In studying the characters OF Mac
beth and Lady Macbeth it WAS necess-
airy 10 know that the play WAS some
what fragmentary. The keynote OF
the tragedy Was sounded IN the OPEN
ing scene when the witches appear TO
Macbeth. The climax he thought was
In the third oct when Banquo's ghost
appeared At the feast. Ii Was then
that il MAS revealed to Lady Macbeth
that Macbeth would not DO able to
maintain himself at the head OF the
kingdom. Some writer's had taken the
ground that Lady Macbeth was tho
greater and better Of the two principal
characters. She Was dragged down, in
the opinion OF these writer's, by her
husband. Prof. Demmon turned TO
Aristotle's definition of the tragic hero
to prove that Macbeth and not Lady
Macbeth WAS the hero of the tragedy.
The lecturer read from the old story
from which the play was formed to
prove the fact that Macbeth was un-
doubtedly the hero Of the play.
He pointed out the passages on
which the critics who claim Lady
Macbeth 90 the heroine of the
play, base their arguments. He read
passages to show the character of Mac
beth as compared with Lady Macbeth.
He thought the tendencies of our age
are not to attribute to women the same
cr:minality ~ that attributed to men.
The play had been translated into
nearly every language and 10 consld-
cred one of the greatest tragedies ever
produced. The next lecture will be on
"The Merchant of Venice"

ful story in these words my mother used
TO be very good TO my little brother, Willie.

whisky. l am afraid to go home after school
until papa gets home, because mamma throws
plates and sticks at me and drags me around
