Why do modern audiences relate to adaptations of Macbeth?

A. Modern audiences like to see plays in which the main character is evil and has no redeeming qualities. B. Modern audiences believe that only plays written long ago have any creative worth. C. Modern audiences like to watch plays that include elements of witchcraft and death. D. Modern audiences can easily understand the themes of ambition and desire that the characters show.

The correct answer is D. Modern audiences can easily understand the themes of ambition and desire that the characters show. These are some virtues and flaws that have existed for a long time, and that will exist until the end of the time without changing - there will always be desire, and there will always be ambition. This is something all people can understand as those are some of the universal emotions - this is why these old plays are still very popular, even though Macbeth was written by Shakespeare in the 17th century.
