Lady Macbeth's Suicide Note

Master of Verona has an intriguing article that asks whether part of the famous “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow…” scene is actually Lady Macbeth’s suicide note.  Pretty neat idea.  I love, as he says, the idea of “flouting the audience’s expectations…even more, when I can do so by returning to the text.”  So he doesn’t just throw out a “Hey, what if we did it this way?” he actually backs it up with textual evidence for why he thinks it’s a valid idea.
