Comment on Overuse of the word “the” in “Macbeth”

Comments

There's a little too much amateurish analysis here which doesn't even attempt to distinguish between Early Modern English and 21st century English, but ultimately I think the conclusion is interesting and probably correct, that this helps set the tone of the play.

Didn't Shakespeare kind of use his own version of English; even by the standards of the day?
