In folk lore and literary archetypes there are these super-human figures: the spinx, Satan, the witches, that are there to trip the hero up and teach man-kind a lesson. Irony could hardly be without them. In "Macbeth" it is carried further through M. being actually bewitched into crime and bewitched into security.Posted by Florence Amit on March 31, 1997 at 01:41:19
