AB  - Examines presentist appropriations and considerations of Macbeth by discussing the idea of the "wordlessness" of the play, William Empson's argument that ambiguity is the central feature of the language in the play, the concept of "double meaning" in both the play and in the English language in general, and finally the benefits of looking at Macbeth from a presentist view.
