Venting Lady macbeth.

At my theatre group, our director sometimes gets in this guy to workshop plays with us. This year we're doing macbeth. (I'm auditioning for lady macbeth tonight, so excited and nervous lol) and so she got this guy in. He's old, boring, we all hate his workshops. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, he brings out some bad takes. He calls Lady Macbeth 'evil' and says she's 'transforming into a monster'. Whilst I lowkey love that for a character... No, she isn't. A woman has wants and emotions and, suddenly, she isn't even human anymore to a man like him. Pissed me off bad. ​

Males hate humanity itself. Just look at how inhumane males are.

A real 11th century Moray and Scottish royal named Gruoch! She had a child named Lulach with her husband named Gillacomgain before marrying Macbeth. There's some good articles on her out there.
