Annotation:
	Proposes that faces that continually appear and disappear in Macbeth imply that seeing and knowing might simply fold, fail, or spoil. Contends that Duncan’s difficulty in reading faces exemplifies an early modern world where the face’s importance and ubiquity were complicated by urban mobility and print technology. Determines that the uncertainty that Shakespeare reveals in Macbeth renders the legibility of faces more important than their expressiveness or responsiveness. English summary, 398.
