The Tragedy of 'Macbeth'
This week we are excited to welcome 2 experts to discuss their views on Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Professor Louis Petrich, a professional Shakespearean actor and a Great Books tutor at St. John’s College, discusses the ubiquitous “doubleness” in Macbeth and recreates the troubled tragic hero by the end of the play with his magnificent reading of the famous “tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow” soliloquy. Next, Nick Utzig, a Harvard English PhD student who focuses on the study of war and militarism in Shakespeare, talks about how his own experience in the army has shaped his reading of Shakespeare. Listeners will be able to discuss these views on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, or on rereadingspodcast.com.

RE-READINGS - The World’s Biggest Reading Group
Many of us learn about famous literature in our high school classes and textbooks – Shakespeare’s "Macbeth," Plato’s "Apology of Socrates," Bible’s Genesis, Sophocles’ "Oedipus Rex," Homer’s "Odyssey"... But is it so simple to know what these texts mean? In each episode of Re-Readings, high school senior Hank Lin hosts conversations with three leading Academic scholars about how they make sense of our most talked-about texts. Afterwards, the Podcast community are able to join the conversation, voting about which methods they find most inspiring. Hosted on Acast.
