Macbeth (Annotated): by William Shakespeare

by `William Shakespeare

Macbeth is among the best-known of William Shakespeare's plays, and is his shortest tragedy, believed to have been written between 1603 and 1606. It is frequently performed at both amateur and professional levels, and has been adapted for opera, film, books, stage and screen. Often regarded as archetypal, the play tells of the dangers of the lust for power and the betrayal of friends. For the plot Shakespeare drew loosely on the historical account of King Macbeth of Scotland by Raphael Holinshed and that by the Scottish philosopher Hector Boece.

I've lost count of how many times I've read this. I still love it, but the first time I read this was in my preteens, and I thought it was awesome, and I wasn't a fan of Shakespeare back then.

Simplemente no conecté con este libro. Le regalo una estrella por ser un clásico, pero no me gustó para nada.
Sé que es una historia muy antigua, pero no por ser hombre tu naturaleza tiene que ser firme, violenta y asesina.
Y pucha que odie a Lady Macbeth, lo único bueno fueron las hermanas fatídicas

I absolutely loved the story especially as a big Shakespeare fan the only reason it’s rated a bit lower is because I read it in the form of a play but I am curious to see what it might be like in a novelized form.
