lol wat? I didn't even know Steinbeck added a bunch of metaphors like that. We just learned about the history of the great depression, and examined the major themes of the book. I had no idea people had to do deconstructions like it was a Shakespeare play or something lmao
This is a nuclear take (also pretty bad). I seriously have trouble understanding why it is such a big deal that there was a "man eating horse subplot" in Macbeth which you think wasn't going anywhere. In fact, about that, I don't even know what you are talking about, the closest thing I know is literally one off handed version that brings up Duncan's horses going wild and eating each other. That is not a "subplot", that is just dark imagery to set an atmosphere that also serves as a metaphor. I have no clue what "man eating horse subplot" you are talking about, I don't remember such a thing in Macbeth. What a weird take.
...but that wasn't Macbeth's point at all? Like, it was pretty obviously not about how curses are bad or whatever. It's a pretty simple case of "if you're a scheming arrogant douche you will get domed by fate, guilt and madness eventually".
It's so incredibly weird to argue that 400 centuries have passed and he is still appreciated solely because some king back then liked him. If that was the case he'd have faded away long ago, just like everyone else who became highly regarded solely for similar reasons.
