AB  - Offers reading of Jan Kott’s theory of “the grotesque”, focusing on its impact on causation and agency in Shakespeare’s works. Applies Kott’s theory to recent novelistic adaptation, Macbeth, Macbeth (2016) by Ewan Fernie and Simon Palfrey, which demonstrates how grotesque results in alteration or elimination of the human. Argues for continued relevance of Kott’s ideas developed during Cold War for contemporary moment. English summary, online.
