Having got a third the way through this basic introduction four years ago, and put it aside during my degree, I've restarted it - and after reading A LOT of degree-level Shakespeare criticism since, much of this guide is very basic, although alleviated by a good introductory chapter and a few well-written essays.

I'm going to see a performance of Macbeth next month. Looking forward to it!

I love Macbeth (the play). It's so dark, almost everywhere. And, of course, the witches and their terse misleadings. When I first read it, I didn't think as much of it - because the language too is dark and dense. Now, though, I have a better feel for its 'brilliance'. It's a black play splashed with red, with a little bit of green at the end.

I'm hoping to be able to sneak in a reading of it before I see it performed. It's been a while since I last read it.
Yes, do - it's one of his shortest.
