Review: MACBETH by William Shakespeare

Let's just take for granted that I don't get Shakespeare. That way I don't have to complain and you don't have to read it.

I actually like this one. It's considered one of the greatest plays of all time, so it's not like anyone was waiting for my opinion, but I really do like it. The little things that could be left out without harming the basic story, like this witches and Lady Macbeth's descent into madness, add layers of gloom to an already dark play. Even the movement of Birnham Wood contributes to the almost surreal atmosphere.

In short, if you haven't read it recently, you probably should. I didn't appreciate it when I was 17 either.
