Question

In a paragraph, discuss why Shakespeare may have chosen to focus on the Fall of Man, the story of Adam and Eve, as a basis for tragedy.

Answer 1

Answer:

Using the narrative of Adam and Eve as a foundation for Macbeth, Shakespeare may have used three witches instead of a snake. These tales all take place in the same general area. Foreshadowing and tension may be added by referencing the narrative of Adam and Eve.
