''The Tragedy of MacBeth Part II: The Seed of Banquo'' is a novel-cum-play published by Pegasus Books in 2008 and written by American author Noah Lukeman. Studying through William Shakespeare's original play, Lukeman concluded that Shakespeare meant to write a sequel to it (as Shakespeare had written some multi-part plays), and wrote one attempting to answer the following questions: * the child nursed by Lady Macbeth, as mentioned in one of her speeches early in the play * how Banquo's descendants come to rule Scotland * how, and what type of, tension develops between King Malcolm and his brother Donalbain as suggested specifically in film adaptations The play is written in a blank verse style close to Shakespeare's original, with British spellings used in place of American English due to Lukeman's desire for continuity, which he felt could not be achieved using American English. ==Major characters== * King Malcolm — king of Scotland * Donalbain — Malcolm's younger brother * Ross, Angus, Lennox, Macduff — Thanes * Seyton — formerly Macbeth's servant, made Thane of Glamis (Macbeth's old title) by Malcolm * Siward, Earl of Northumbria * Syna — daughter of Seyton * Lady Malcolm — daughter of the Macbeths, (briefly) bride and queen to Malcolm * Nurse — appointed by Seyton to find (or invent) evil about the queen * Three Witches — as in ''Macbeth'' * Fleance — son of Banquo * Fiona — Fleance's love * Three murderers — as in ''Macbeth'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Tragedy of Macbeth Part II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
