Director -Macbeth



 

 

 

                 If I were a director, I would stage the soliloquy without a dagger. I would stage it without the dagger because it would would make MacBeth seem even crazier because he's talking about a dagger that isn't even there.  "Is this a  dagger which I see before me, the handle toward my hand?" (2,1,33/34). If Macbeth had no dagger the audience would think that Macbeth is thinking he has a dagger but he doesn't.  If I was a director I would not use the dagger.
