"A drum a drum, Macbeth doth come! My favorite of the tragedies. Macbeth's "tomorrow" speech is one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry ever transcribed. The vibrancy of characters like Duncan & Lady Macbeth stay with you forever. "And vaulting ambition o'erthrown." Oh yes!"
— Amy (5 out of 5 stars)
" I liked the ending of Macbeth, though I have been learning and reading old english for years I still have some difficulties understanding the language and therefore it frustrated me to read such books. "
— Tekoah-mikneiah, 2/20/2014" Classic story as usual but highly entertaining and fun to read in times for Halloween. "
— Kiki, 2/16/2014" I am ridiculously in love with this play right now. There's something about actually being knee deep in Shakespeare that makes me appreciate it more than I ever have. "
— Lauren, 2/9/2014" predictable and i probably would have liked it better if i didnt read it in english class "
— Evan, 2/7/2014" There is a reason this is so iconic in theatre that there are rituals regarding this play that every stage actor knows. "
— Laural, 1/31/2014" My favorite Shakespeare so far. Very dark with just the right touches of fantasy. "
— Taylan, 1/18/2014" Awful. I hate this book. What was the point? "
— Nicole, 1/18/2014" I liked the ending. that is it "
— Sonia, 12/31/2013" I have no idea why it took me so long to read Shakespeare. Both Hamlet and Macbeth are amazing. Now, on to see some adaptations and probably read Romeo and Juliet and some comedies! "
— Mariana, 12/7/2013" what can I add more to this tragedy ? a very good job. "
— منـال, 10/17/2013William Shakespeare (1564–1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.
