A story of ambition, murder and dark mystery. Blinded by his ambition to power he committed murder after murder but was then consumed by guilt, anguish, fear and later on by death. A fast paced and exiting book to read. Great book (if thats what you call it, maybe play is more accurate) obviously a classic. The modern english parts make it easier to read, but please do not just read those parts, the great thing about Shakespeare is how he wrote and the language that he used. no reviews | add a review

Did what the Weird Sisters say happen only because they said it? Or would their predictions have come true if Macbeth had simply waited for it?
This particular edition, with the Shakespeare Made Easy translations, made the whole thing a little troublesome to read, as I would often find myself naturally moving to the opposite page (the modern translation page) as if it was any other book. This caused a few moments of irritation simply because I found myself rereading a part I'd just finished and not catching it right away due to the altered wording.
Still, it will make a worthy addition to my Little Free Library. ( )
