AB  - Addresses Macbeth’s own childlessness as factor contributing to his decision to murder Duncan in both Shakespeare’s play and Kurzel’s adaptation. Contends that film gives Macbeth a child who dies, which shapes Shakespeare’s tragedy into story that focuses on power’s connection to patriarchal succession. Concludes that Kurzel’s interpretation throws light back upon overlooked reading of play, whereby Macbeth’s regicide is motivated by desire for male heir.
