The debate is realtively pointless. I bet if someone was to actually ask Will his reasoning, he would probably say that an evil Macbeth sold more tickets than a benevolent monarch. An easy albeit accurate one, is to compare Shakespeare's work to dramatic fiction of the present. Sex sells, violence sells, and everyone loves a good story of villains and heroes.
