| An interesting read. Macbeth was one of my favourites, waaay baaack, and this treatment is fairly good, at least you don't have to wade through pages for just one soliloquy. |
|
| the story has been paraphrased in simple language which makes the narrative clear. Suggestion, If you read this and like it, and if you haven't already, you owe it to yourself to then read the original and find out why Shakespeare is considered the master. Also check out one of the many excellent film versions. The Most recent one was made in 2015 with Michael Fassbender. (Magneto in the X-men movies) |
