In recent adaptations by Justin Kurzel and Lucas de Man, Shakespeare’s Macbeth is less a play about a courageous warrior driven to murder his king out of ambition than about a soldier suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. This article links these interpretations of Macbeth’s motivation to Stephan Wolfert’s one-man show Cry Havoc!!, which also relates Shakespeare’s plays in general to combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder. This article argues that all three productions are symptomatic of our era in addressing Macbeth from the perspective of current constructions of masculinity as deeply problematic.

在贾斯汀·库兹尔（Justin Kurzel）和卢卡斯·德曼（Lucas de Man）的最新改编中，莎士比亚的麦克白所扮演的角色，比起一名患有创伤后应激障碍的士兵，更像是一个勇敢的战士出于野心而谋杀国王的戏。本文将对麦克白动机的这些解释与斯蒂芬·沃尔夫特（Stephan Wolfert）的单人节目《哭泣破坏》（Cry Havoc）结合起来！，这通常也将莎士比亚的戏剧与与战斗有关的创伤后应激障碍相关。本文认为，从当前的男性气概问题来看，这三部作品都是我们时代对付麦克白的标志。
