Ok ok. So my secrets out. When it comes to reading most Classics, the best way for me to be able to get it is if I either read the a Cliff notes first, or watch a Version made into a Hollyweird movie. I read Dante's inferno that way and understood quite well and even found parts of it highly entertaining, if not outright hysterical.
As the saying goes-it's not stupid if it works lol.

I love using CliffsNotes as they were intended: as a supplement to great literature. They are particularly useful as I homeschool my son (which is why I read this on Macbeth). My only complaint is this particular one seemed a little light on symbolism... although, if there isn't as much of it in the play, then I guess it can't be included. As always, a great supplemental tool; I love the layout of the more recent publications.

I really appreciated the way he analyzed each act under these categories:
theme, character insight, literary device, style and language. Very helpful!
