This is due to the changing language around suicide to avoid portraying it as a crime (e.g., <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.irmi.com/articles/expert-commentary/language-matters-why-we-dont-say-committed-suicide">https://www.irmi.com/articles/expert-commentary/language-matters-why-we-dont-say-committed-suicide</a>). It is less important for a fictional character, but I think it's still good to use better phrasing. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/2601:1C0:4C01:5F70:C0D0:1871:8460:7CC1" title="Special:Contributions/2601:1C0:4C01:5F70:C0D0:1871:8460:7CC1">2601:1C0:4C01:5F70:C0D0:1871:8460:7CC1</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:2601:1C0:4C01:5F70:C0D0:1871:8460:7CC1&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:2601:1C0:4C01:5F70:C0D0:1871:8460:7CC1 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Macbeth#c-2601:1C0:4C01:5F70:C0D0:1871:8460:7CC1-20241117200300-Semi-protected_edit_request_on_17_November_2024" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:03, 17 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-2601:1C0:4C01:5F70:C0D0:1871:8460:7CC1-20241117200300-Semi-protected_edit_request_on_17_November_2024"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-2601:1C0:4C01:5F70:C0D0:1871:8460:7CC1-20241117200300-Semi-protected_edit_request_on_17_November_2024"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mediatech492-20241118031100-2601:1C0:4C01:5F70:C0D0:1871:8460:7CC1-20241117200300"></span>I think this is an overemphasis on one very specific definition of the word "commit".The word commit implies neither immorality nor criminal behaviour. If a politician commits himself to a particular government policy, should we impeach him? Is it a crime or immoral when a romantic couple make a commitment to each other? Or you commit your grandmother to a care home? Besides, changing the terminology does not change the nature of the act. Suicide is a tragedy, no matter what you call it.<a href="/wiki/User:Mediatech492" title="User:Mediatech492">Mediatech492</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mediatech492" title="User talk:Mediatech492">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Macbeth#c-Mediatech492-20241118031100-2601:1C0:4C01:5F70:C0D0:1871:8460:7CC1-20241117200300" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:11, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mediatech492-20241118031100-2601:1C0:4C01:5F70:C0D0:1871:8460:7CC1-20241117200300"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mediatech492-20241118031100-2601:1C0:4C01:5F70:C0D0:1871:8460:7CC1-20241117200300"></span></dd></dl>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Macbeth&oldid=1258156327">https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Macbeth&oldid=1258156327</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks" data-mw="interface"><div id="mw-normal-catlinks" class="mw-normal-catlinks"><a href="/wiki/Help:Category" title="Help:Category">Categories</a>: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:C-Class_level-4_vital_articles" title="Category:C-Class level-4 vital articles">C-Class level-4 vital articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_level-4_vital_articles_in_Arts" title="Category:Wikipedia level-4 vital articles in Arts">Wikipedia level-4 vital articles in Arts</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:C-Class_vital_articles_in_Arts" title="Category:C-Class vital articles in Arts">C-Class vital articles in Arts</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:C-Class_Shakespeare_articles" title="Category:C-Class Shakespeare articles">C-Class Shakespeare articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Top-importance_Shakespeare_articles" title="Category:Top-importance Shakespeare articles">Top-importance Shakespeare articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:WikiProject_Shakespeare_articles" title="Category:WikiProject Shakespeare articles">WikiProject Shakespeare articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:C-Class_Theatre_articles" title="Category:C-Class Theatre articles">C-Class Theatre articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:High-importance_Theatre_articles" title="Category:High-importance Theatre articles">High-importance Theatre articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:WikiProject_Theatre_articles" title="Category:WikiProject Theatre articles">WikiProject Theatre articles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_semi-protected_edit_requests" title="Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests">Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests</a></li></ul></div><div id="mw-hidden-catlinks" class="mw-hidden-catlinks mw-hidden-cats-hidden">Hidden category: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:All_Wikipedia_vital_articles" title="Category:All Wikipedia vital articles">All Wikipedia vital articles</a></li></ul></div></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 18 November 2024, at 12:12<span class="anonymous-show"> (UTC)</span>.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright">Text is available under the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_4.0_International_License" title="Wikipedia:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License</a>; additional terms may apply.
