"Out, Damned Spot! Out, I Say!" Could Lady Macbeth Have Foreseen Covid 19?????????????????????????

                                                   I have to wonder if literature's most notorious hand washer was years ahead of Dr. Anthony Fauci.  Were Lady Macbeth's spots--actually a projection of her own guilt-- a glimpse into our future, with the Covid 19 pandemic, at hand?

                                                   It certainly sounds plausible to me, but, who knew, until now, that "Macbeth" would turn out to be a work of prophecy?  Well, it does start out with a trio of witches, so that about certifies it.

                                                    Probably reading "Hamnet," which also deals with the bubonic plague, aka the Black Death, provoked this question in my mind.

                                                       Thanks to all this, reading or seeing "Macbeth" will never be the same!

                                                        And I have always wanted to play one of the witches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
