The Tragedy of Macbeth deals with the decay of its protagonists as well as with the decomposition of a medieval world in the threshold of modernity. References to nature appear recurrently not only to show this critical moment but also to foreshadow the end of feudal society. Human bodies that lose their humanity for different reasons highlight the pervasive feeling of moral putrefaction of the play. The play debates itself between two different visions: that of ‘green ecology’ (Steve Mentz, 2011) representing the pastures or forests of the old tradition and that of ‘blue ecology’ (ibid.) standing for the newly discovered ocean. It is the aim of this workshop to analyse the above mentioned topics from an environmental perspective to enable students’ understanding through a hands-on and updated approach.
