Macbeth

by Alistair McCallum (Retold by), William Shakespeare

A dark, rainy day in Scotland, long ago. Returning from battle, Macbeth and his friend Banquo meet three witches. Macbeth, the king they say, but Macbeth is not a king, he is just a simple soldier. Macbeth and Banquo cannot forget the witches' words. Soon Macbeth is king, but his wife walks in her sleep at night, and dreams of blood. What lies in the future for Banquo? And how many people must die before Scotland finds peace once more?

An adaptation of Shakespeare's "Macbeth", but 'tis simplified. A joy!

it narrates the events of the originall plaie well if i remember it. Macbeth is a coward, but Ladie Macbeth is vicious. Macduff kills Macbeth. "No man of woman born" BS.

Naught bad, but naught enteresting.

Macbeth
Macbeth is a book written by William Shakespeare in 1606.

Character: Macbeth, the main character of this story.Lady Macbeth, the wife of the Macbeth. Banquo, Macbeth's friend.Fleance, son of Banquo.

Setting
Time:11century
Place: Scotland


What I thought when I read this story
I think Macbeth is a wretched man. He doesn't have his own ideas, does everything other people tell him to do. Lady Macbeth is destroyed by the power, and she is a greedy woman. Banquo is the friend of Macbeth at first, but he is too simplistic because he finally died.

If I can, I will recommend this book to my friends. This story tells us don't fall for power, too much power can destroy you.

Perfect for intermediate level students. Used in class before our drama production of Macbeth

Glad that I finally have read this story. What have I learnt from it? Sometimes it is better to wait for things to happen then trying to make things happen.
