When you’re learning Shakespeare at school (or at home as I
was), there’s a lot of talk about fatal flaws. Macbeth’s is ambition (as we’ll
all see next week), Othello’s was jealousy (as we saw absolutely phenomenally a
couple of weeks ago). These fatal flaws are seen as negative. Jealousy doesn’t
make anyone happy and although there’s a place for a certain amount of
ambition, it’s fair to say Macbeth… takes it a bit far.
