Macbeth Bank and shoal of time

Authors:

Abstract

The paper focuses on the concept of time in Shakespeare’s Macbeth and The Tempest with special reference to time gaps and to what may qualify as the right time to perform the deed—whether magical or murderous. The two plays share some peculiar features concerning time: they are both unusually short, and what Frye writes about The Tempest could also be said of Macbeth: “the time even seems to shorten as we go on”, and thus both plays are “haunted by the passing of time” (Northrop Frye on Shakespeare 172)
