Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District (film)

Lady Macbeth
Lady Macbeth is a leading character in William Shakespeare's tragedy" Macbeth"( c.1603–1607).
The wife of the play's tragic hero, Macbeth( a Scottish nobleman), Lady Macbeth goads her husband into committing regicide, after which she becomes queen of Scotland.
She dies off- stage in the last act, an apparent suicide.
According to some genealogists, King Duncan's wife was Lady Macbeth's grandmother where Duncan's wife had a stronger claim to the throne than Lady Macbeth.
It was this that incited her jealousy and hatred of Duncan.
The character's origins lie in the accounts of Kings Duff and Duncan in" Holinshed's Chronicles"( 1587), a history of Britain familiar to Shakespeare.
Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth appears to be a composite of two separate and distinct personages in Holinshed's work: Donwald's nagging, murderous wife in the account of King Duff and Macbeth's ambitious wife, Gruoch of Scotland, in the account of King Duncan.
Lady Macbeth is a powerful presence in the play, most notably in the first two acts.
Following the murder of King Duncan, however, her role in the plot diminishes.
She becomes an uninvolved spectator to Macbeth's plotting and a nervous hostess at a banquet dominated by her husband's hallucinations.
Her sleepwalking scene in the fifth act is a turning point in the play, and her line" Out, damned spot!" has become a phrase familiar to many speakers of the English language.
The report of her death late in the fifth act provides the inspiration for Macbeth's" Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" speech.
Analysts see in the character of Lady Macbeth the conflict between femininity and masculinity as they are impressed in cultural norms.
Lady Macbeth suppresses her instincts toward compassion, motherhood, and fragility — associated with femininity — in favour of ambition, ruthlessness, and the singleminded pursuit of power.
This conflict colours the entire drama and sheds light on gender- based preconceptions from Shakespearean England to the present.
The role has attracted countless notable actors over the centuries, including Sarah Siddons, Charlotte Melmoth, Helen Faucit, Ellen Terry, Jeanette Nolan, Vivien Leigh, Simone Signoret, Vivien Merchant, Glenda Jackson, Francesca Annis, Judith Anderson, Dame Judi Dench, Renee O'Connor, Keeley Hawes, Alex Kingston and Marion Cotillard and Hannah Taylor- Gordon.
