Shakespeare An analysis of the play with reference to modern psychiatric thought and possibility of changing our personality via prozac: "Every day, several patients ask me Macbeths question with regard to themselves—in less elevated language, to be sure—and they expect a positive answer: but four centuries before neurochemistry was even thought of, and before any of the touted advances in neurosciences that allegedly gave us a new and better understanding of ourselves, Shakespeare knew something that we are increasingly loath to acknowledge. There is no technical fix for the problems of humanity."
