my Headcanon is that Willy's Chocolate Experience is set in the universe of Shakespeare's MacBeth, centuries after the story. This is based on the fact that AI Willy has the surname McDuff. The Unknown is actually the spirit of MacBeth, haunting MacDuff's distant descendant.

That's... one way to look at it lmao go off !

WAIT WAIT ITS NOT A TRANS TAKE FOR WHICH I APOLOGIZE but I (a lesbian) played macduff and in my heart and soul my macduff is a lesbian performing to this hypermasculine scottish society as a man. And every time I put on my costume, to get into character, I imagined macduff putting on her men’s clothes, her soldier’s clothes, simultaneously concealing her true nature and adopting it because this has been her whole LIFE. Thinking about her love for her wife being what tethers her to womanhood. What it means to be a good man in a world of tyrants when you aren’t a man. Nearly every performance I almost had a Freudian slip where I said “Macduff was from her mother’s womb untimely ripped,” because that’s the only time (at least in our cut) macduff refers to herself in the third person. Thinking about macduff’s role in the play as the griever, the lamenter, and how the play connects emotion = femininity with lady macker’s “unsex me here/make thick my blood”, willing femininity away from herself by forbidding her emotions. And macduff expresses such deep grief and depression so openly. Thinking about a macduff who is extremely secure in gender and sexuality foiling a mackers who is extremely insecure in gender and sexuality. Thinking about a macduff who believes her wife and children have died for her “sins.” Thinking about the scene with lady macduff and her child, where they debate the child’s “father” being dead, and lady macduff compares macduff to a bird, whom she refers to with she/her pronouns. Thinking about Malcolm’s “show as you are,” and macduff throwing down her branch, not really showing as she is, never showing as she is. I am so sorry if this is incoherent I have so many emotions for her

Me and the boys going to build a kingdom for humans

Although James dreaded witches, he and parliament sought to protect heathland as a habitat for game animals and birds. He would have relished Shakespeare’s comparing Macbeth to a poacher and a kite, a species then classified as vermin. Macbeth’s killing of Duncan and Macduff’s (pronounced Macdove) family simulates illegal net-hunting, nest-robbing, and the raiding of estate buildings known as dovecotes, which housed pigeons and doves for food and feathers.

...

The Winter’s Tale comments on the inhumanity of the fur trade. The famous bear that pursues Antigonus off stage may have been played by an actor in a polar bear’s pelt captured by fur traders, while Queen Hermione is a personification of an ermine.

Spelled “ermion” in Shakespeare’s day, an ermine is a stoat in its white winter coat. Ermines were symbols of chastity since it was believed they would rather die than befoul their white fur.

DAMN CHION KILLED MACDUFF

Help o can't stop thinking of Malcolms "act like a man" and Macduffs answering "feel like a man" when he is told of the death of his family. Like ???? For so long there's been the idea of boys don't cry, but here is this war toughened soldier who says that he will grieve for his family properly, and THAT I'd part of what being a man is, allowing himself to feel the depth of his emotions gsbsgisis I'm not explaining this well at all but just know I'm thinking abt it

Lady MacDuff: So what do you like about Macbeth if it’s not his looks?

Lady Mac: Idk I like his personality?

Lady MacDuff: Really???

Lady Mac:

Lady Mac: Yeah no it’s not that either

mac dubh!!!!

Yeah Macduff was 'untimely ripped from his mother's womb' or whatever but what about 'untimely ripped from my warm bed by the blare of my alarm clock'? Eh?
