Reviews for Macbeth

[villemezbrown · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

My favorite work of Shakespeare and one of my top three favorite pieces of literature. The No Fear plain English translation on the righthand pages is usually useful and sometimes amusingly bad, but in the end it can do nothing to detract from the greatness presented on the lefthand pages.

It gets the extra star because of how much I relate to Macbeth and his wife.

[cookie11-1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Macbeth is a brave soldier that is fooled by some witches into thinking of himself as more deserving than he actually is. In an effort to make the witches prophesies come true Macbeth kills the king to take his title and a series of unfortunate events occur in which half the characters in the book die. I find this story incredibly boring because was written as a play and the characters actions are missing without visual representation and then everyone dies in a completely unrealistic plot.

This wonderful play is about an Irish nobleman named Macbeth who
commits murder in order to become king. He soon commits many more murders and is seen as a hated tyrant by his entire country and is killed in a war waged against him to overthrow him as king. Other main characters include his wife, Lady Macbeth, Macduff, another Irish nobleman, and Banquo, a former friend of Macbeth’s.
