Gruoch ist zudem auch noch extrem unsympathisch dargestellt. Teils wirkt sie, als ob ihr alle Menschen um sie herum komplett egal wären. Und ich kann mir vorstellen, dass genau das das Ziel der Autorin war – eine meisterhafte Manipulatorin, für die alle anderen nur Werkzeuge sind. Leider ist sie aber eher naiv und muss ständig von anderen gerettet werden. Ich hatte hier leider das Gefühl, dass der Charakter, den ich erlebt habe weit von dem entfernt war, den die Autorin hier schreiben wollte und konnte einfach nicht nachvollziehen, wieso gewisse Charaktere ihr trotzdem immer wieder geholfen haben. There is much turmoil within the royal court, as everyone wants to get ahead. Gruoch is betrothed to Duncan, who it seems will be king one day, as the heir apparent to King Malcolm II. But when everything goes awry, and Gruoch is forced to run for her life, she ends up on a path she doesn't want, with a husband she doesn't love or respect. She never forgets her childhood love, Macbethad, and the ambition they share. Tartaglione, Nancy (1 November 2017). " 'Lady Macbeth' Leads British Independent Film Awards Nominations – Full List".

She has many faults, but I think Schuler did an exceptional job of showing female ambition, guile, and Gruoch's will to not only survive but to thrive. I feel like there needs to be space for women to be driven and wrathful and just downright selfish, and just unapologetically themselves without being vilified, even if she is ultimately a villain.

That none of this will ever stop is promised in the spawn of the miscreants, children of evil destined to repeat their parents' sins. From then on, Gruoch’s life gets consistently tougher. Forced to move to Moray and live at a family friend’s court, she meets young MacBethad. She finds him very quiet, but the two of them become friends nonetheless. Lady Macbeth is a leading character in William Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth ( c. 1603–1607). As the wife of the play's tragic hero, Macbeth (a Scottish nobleman), Lady Macbeth goads her husband into committing regicide, after which she becomes queen of Scotland. Some regard her as becoming more powerful than Macbeth when she does this, because she is able to manipulate him into doing what she wants. After Macbeth becomes a murderous tyrant, she is driven to madness by guilt over their crimes and kills herself offstage. I have been tossed around my whole life. And every time I create myself anew. Every time I rise from the ashes and forge a new life for myself. My very existence is in defiance of those who would have killed me."
Not a single man or woman in the crowd before me could have done what I had to survive. They would shrink in horror from my deeds, not revere me for how I had persevered." Throughout Act 1, Macbeth is conflicted about whether or not he should kill King Duncan. In Act 1 Scene 7, for example, Macbeth talks about how Duncan is ‘both his kinsmen and his subject’ as well as his ‘host’, all reasons not to kill the king. However, he makes the choice to go ahead and commit ‘the horrid deed’ in Act 2. This choice is one of the central turning points for this character and it is vital for anyone writing about Macbeth, or playing Macbeth on stage, to look at his motivations at this point and ask: However, life throws more obstacles in Gruoch’s way… Will she succeed in her ambition of becoming ‘the greatest of them all’? Cool, calculating, impassioned, and razor-sharp in its shrewd storytelling, the period film Lady Macbeth is worthy of the title of Shakespeare's manipulative anti-heroine. Katherine (newcomer Florence Pugh) is recently married and expected to fulfill her wifely duties. Except her husband demands she stay inside and he also wants nothing to do with her psychically. While away, she strikes up an affair with Sebastian (Cosmo Jarvis), one of the servants hired to tend the estate. She finally feels desired but also free, able to do what she wants and without the stifling control of patriarchal forces. There are three impediments to Katherine continuing to enjoy her status and relationship, and each one requires another step into moral turpitude. Lady Macbeth does a very effective job of developing taut tension born out of its premise. Every plot point naturally leads to another, creating more frisson and conflict. It pushes an audience into an uncomfortable position of deciding how far their sympathies will align with our put-upon protagonist. The ending is fitting but will likely produce a lot of heavy sighs and foot shuffling out of the theater. Pugh delivers a star-making performance in a role we've seen often in nineteenth century literature, the oppressed woman yearning for autonomy of body and mind. However, this isn't an unrequited romance of furtive glances and pearl clutching, this is a meaty psychological thriller seeped in murder. Pugh expertly portrays a fascinating figure, a woman capable of cruelty to stake her claim in a cruel world. She commands the screen. A great reoccurring image is Katherine sitting on a settee and going through breathing exercises, as if to get into character for what she must do. Lady Macbeth (based upon the Russian novel Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk) is a tightly wound psychological thriller that brings a darker, absorbing carnality to the bonnet drama.

I really enjoyed this book. This is not your standard retelling of another myth/folklore legend where you know what happens. There are some parallels to Shakespeare’s Macbeth and we meet some characters that appeared in the play, however, this is a totally original story, which I very much appreciated.
Lady Macbeth is an interesting minimalist story of a smothered young woman, whose intensity will lay waste to the social fabric of the estate. In fact, much of the proceedings are Shakespearean with their emphasis on man's weakness in his dominance, a woman's Eve-like ability to lure men into sin, and the pride that inevitably leads to a fall. This character does not match that. Perhaps she could never match that. And yes I know that this is based on Grouch, the Scottish queen that inspired Shakespeare rather than Lady Macbeth herself, but the comparison is inevitable, especially as this finishes where Shakespeare begins. Even bearing that in mind, Grouch was so much less than I hoped. Petty, selfish in a way that made her stupid, simply drawn, and self-pitying. She doesn't plan well, she reacts, and without the help of others, she tends to fail. There's nothing to admire in her. So much so that I liked Macbethad more than her at the end. That simply cannot be borne. Lady Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s most famous and frightening female characters. When we first see her, she is already plotting Duncan’s murder, and she is stronger, more ruthless, and more ambitious than her husband. She seems fully aware of this and knows that she will have to push Macbeth into committing murder. At one point, she wishes that she were not a woman so that she could do it herself.Happy to share that the book had a lasting impression and after days of reading, I am still thinking about Gruoch's zeal for survival. Considering the timelines around which the book is based around, the behaviour of mothers training their daughters to be Damsels, men ruling the world, was captured in a picture-perfect mode. What was the process like for adapting your screenplay, Queen Hereafter into Lady MacBethad? Was it more complicated or easier than you first thought? Alternative takes on Shakespeare are ubiquitous, but this origin story of the real Lady Macbeth – the debut novel by Swiss Hawaiian-American screenwriter Schuler – is distinctive. There’s genuine commitment to character and storytelling in this tale of Gruoch, the prophesied Queen of Alba, who finds herself at the mercy of heir elect Duncan’s court as she travels to take the royal seat. Lady Mac Bethad explores the predicament of a woman fighting for her position in life.
