I don't typically like these older books, with poetry and their weird talk, but this one was pretty good. Macbeth killed some people, then killed a bunch more. Lady Macbeth was like 'whoooo let's go kill the king' but then she starts to feel guilty while Macbeth feels less guilty. The witches were awesome. "Double, Double. toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble'! Pretty intense stuff. Kind of hilarious how they tricked him and how Macbeth was so easily defeated.
I can never get enough of this play and have taught it for years with my freshmen honors' students. As freshmen, they read Shakespeare's shortest play; as sophomores, they read HAMLET, his largest play (and magnum opus IMHO). I always thought of MACBETH as a precursor to HAMLET, and that's how I taught it. One of his darkest plays, and one perhaps to revisit during these turbulent times.
Dare I also suggest some FUN with MACBETH? Click the URL below, if interested.
