Ahh, I like these kinds of wacky theories very much indeed, even if its just fun rather than coincidence or intentional from our man, D.W Bradley.
I love the play personally - studied it in year 12 back in High School, although it did give me some sinister nightmares. The Polanski film is worth a look too Moiraine if you haven't already seen it. (Good to see you still around by the way)
Its been awhile since I played the game now, but I recall avidly the ghost of D'Soto in Shurugeon Castle. Oh the sense of torment he exuded!
We could maybe compare his pain perhaps to the torment and murder of Banquo in MacBeth and the appearance that his own ghost makes to unsettle the guilt-filled king. But maybe I'm just pulling at straws here off the top of my head, as one could imagine that the ghost of Banquo is merely imagined!
If only my memory of the game was a bit stronger....I'd best replay it then one day!
The trio of witches theme is a nice observation - maybe to take it to the next step we could find examples of dialogue from each which somehow correlate. Perhaps some similarties about their prophecies? [img]smile.gif[/img]
On a more silly note - perhaps we could cast characters from W&W into our own version hack version of the play?
(Eeep, but isn't there a curse upon it?...)
"All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!
"ALl hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!"
"All hail, Macbeth! That shalt be king hereafter!"
*Dissappears off into the mist to avoid the curse*
