"Wow! I hadn't read this since high school. It was worth picking up again. So dark yet so beautifully written. So deep. So wonderful. " — Alex (4 out of 5 stars)
"Wow! I hadn't read this since high school. It was worth picking up again. So dark yet so beautifully written. So deep. So wonderful. "
" My favorite work by Shakespeare. A story that stays with you. "
" One of my favorite tragedies. It's short and sweet. "
" I actually liked the story line of this book, though sometimes i just wanted to chuck it on the floor in frustration, i hate the old language, thankfully, i had a book which actually told me what he actuall y meant! "
" Guilt, witches, the seduction of power...who wouldn't love this? "
" stunning, of course.Good edition, decent notes. "
" Not my favorite Shakespeare, but still better than 80% of the rest. "
" A great read. Can't say anything more poetic than "Lady Macbeth was my favourite character". "
" We did this at school, it was great, each character was read out by a different kid in the class. "
" First time reading since high school (where I probably just sped-read it anyway). "
" Read for school. A good Shakespeare play, very thought provoking. Great to analyse and some of the imagery is very powerful. "Stars, hide your fires Let not light see my dark and deep desires" "
" Read for English class. Not my cup of tea, I prefer the more modern novels with sexy guys in them, tehee :) "
William 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.
