A great play like Macbeth weaves a variety of elements into a unified whole. No matter how impressive the individual speeches or how memorable the incidents, the play must be judged on its effect as a whole. The play has successfully blended plot, character, setting, atmosphere, and imagery to where the actors have captured the entire rich tapestry on stage-the result is an intensely satisfying drama.
