Macbeth

This book finds best explanations for cruxes in The Tragedy of Macbeth. The result can well reason various difficult words, seemingly tedious lines, and odd arrangements based on word’s logic.

Bat (“a rat without a tail”) is the source of this play’s darkness. Macbeth owns the bat’s nature via Lady Macbeth’s witchcraft. She does that by becoming asexual (“unsex me”) like the three witches with beards, summons murthering spirits, milks a baby bat, dashes its brain out to make a drink with the bat’s brain for Macbeth.

The play is triple readable, fair stage plays for the audience, kind stories for riddlers (owl and cricket), and true authorship for cipherers (hell’s porter , Bellona’s bridegroom).
