Noble, Esther Gideon. Macbeth, a warning against superstition. $1. Badger, R: G.
Dwelling upon the strong negative lesson conveyed thruout the tragedy of Macbeth, viz., the warning against superstition, Macbeth himself is viewed in the light of one steeped in superstition, and the Weird sisters, whose material existence is denied, as doing no more “than ‘harp’ his fear aright.” “Shakespeare made Macbeth distinctly a man of thought, calculation, and caution. It is the abuse, the misdirection of this great power for thought which makes the tragedy,” so maintains the author of this monograph.
