“It will have blood, they say; blood will have blood.”  This line from the Scottish play may be its least questionable statement.  Otherwise, we get riddles:  Is the tragedy due to fate or free will? Does Lady Macbeth manipulate her husband? What about those witches? Is Banquo’s ghost real or a hallucination? Let’s discuss this spookiest of Shakespeare’s plays, even as we recognize its toil and trouble.?
