Coursework on Lady Macbeth
Assess the realisation of the character of Lady Macbeth in Act 1 Scene 5. ...
Lady Macbeth has been illustrated differently in many productions. ... The BBC interpretation was filmed in 1981 and Jane Lapotaire played the role of Lady Macbeth. ... Harriet Walter played the character of Lady Macbeth. In the BBC interpretation, Lady Macbeth is portrayed as a sexual, erotic character; she is more feminine and gentle. In the RSC production, Lady Macbeth is depicted as being extremely manly and vigorous. ... It is used whenever Lady Macbeth receives a letter from her ‘dearest partner of crime’, Macbeth. ... It is clear that she is thrilled and excited; she wants to be with Macbeth all the way. The next more obvious close-up is when Lady Macbeth is on the bed. ... Close-up is used whenever Lady Macbeth is reading the letter from her husband. The Lady Macbeth in this production reacts differently to the lady Macbeth in the BBC production. ... Another close-up is used whenever Lady Macbeth is looking out the window, she seems to be much more contented and relaxed, and she has a trouble-free beam on her face to demonstrate this. ... The close-up technique is used again whenever Lady Macbeth is having a bath. ... Voice-over is used whenever Lady Macbeth is reading the letter, from her voice; she is illustrated as being worried and upset. ... Voice-over is also used whenever Lady Macbeth is in the bath. ... Lady Macbeth really means what she says here, she calls upon the spirits of darkness to take away her natural womanliness and fill her instead with the worst of bitterness and cruelty.
In the BBC Production, Lady Macbeth is wearing an unadorned, long dress. ... It is extremely basic; it has no character and is not attractive in the slightest manner, the reason behind the costume being very plain and not elaborate is so all the attention will be drawn to what Lady Macbeth says and does and not what she is wearing. ... In the RSC interpretation, Lady Macbeth is wearing a white satin dress with an extended black knee-length cardigan.
