** At the time, the decision to make Lady Macbeth younger was seen as a controversial one - since she's usually depicted as middle-aged or older than her husband; taking historical fact into account, Macbeth was her second husband, suggesting she was older (although in Middle Age Britain, girls were married as young as twelve, so her being married twice and still being a young twentysomething is plausible).
