Macbeth

If your considering Christianity in Macbeth, I would review
the murder scene of Duncan where Macbeth states he could not
say the word "Amen" when he needed it most. Also, review
mentions of the concept of hell, the knocking scene directly
after the murder may be helpful. Finally, consider the
character of "Seyton"( which sounds remarkably like Satan) who
is Macbeth's last companion before going out to do battle.
These could be considered Christian references in the play.
