Question: What would you say is a modern comparison to Shakespeare's Macbeth !?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The Lion King

Scar, from the "Lion King" fits the Macbeth mold - he was jealous of his brother, wanted to be King and was prepared to kill his brother and his nephew in order to do so!. Under Scar, the Prideland diminished, just as Scotland did under the rule of Macbeth, and only flourished after Scar/Macbeth's death!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is a movie called "Men of Respect" starring John Turtuorro, which is a modern retelling of the best Shakespearean play ever!. Turtuorro plays a mobster who kills his boss to move ahead!. It came out in the 90's and is a pretty good movie that stays true to the original play!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I always thought that the 'coughing major' and his wife on 'Who wants to be a millionaire' had something of Macbeth and Lady MacBeth about them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
