Macbeth is a wonderful bloody tale of royalty and deceit. Macbeth, who is a general in the Scottish army along with Banquo, has met three witches, who call Macbeth ‘The Thane of Clawdor’, and ‘The Thane of Glamis’ and ‘King Hereafter’. They tell of a prophecy that Banquo will beget kings, and then the witches vanish. Macbeth and his wife slay King Duncan, and Macbeth becomes the king. This book may be too complicated for some readers, for it was written in about 1606, and the way people speak, as one would imagine, has changed.
If you wish to broaden your vocabulary, or you are tired of predictable books, this book is perfect for you. Shakespeare has an excellent way with words, and the way people speak in Macbeth is like poetry, even with the simplest of phrases. Vinyl Scratch
