Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Study Sessions, we look specifically at the character of King Duncan, a figure who embodies all the virtues of good kingship: justice, honour, loyalty and benevolence. Even though he has few lines and little time on stage, his importance in the play means we need a thorough understanding of his depiction and his connection to kingship, the Great Chain of Being and even natural order itself. Use this episode to help you with tonight's homework, too!
