Tragedy of Macbeth

Macbeth (No Fear)

How painfully beautiful a way to speak of someone who has passed. (Act 5, scene 8).

Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble. 

Here are the books that help teach Shakespeare plays without the teacher constantly needing to explain and define Elizabethan terms, slang, and other ways of expression that are different from our own. Each play is presented with Shakespeare's original lines on each left-hand page, and a modern, easy-to-understand "translation" on the facing right-hand page. All dramas are complete, with every original Shakespearian line, and a full-length modern rendition of the text. Helpful background information that puts each play in its historical perspective. Discussion questions that teachers can use to spark student class participation, and which students can use as springboards for their own themes and term papers. Fact quizzes, sample examinations, and other features that improve student comprehension of what each play is about.

What he hath lost, noble Macbeth hath won.

Where the Norweyan banners flout the sky 

Offers explanatory notes on pages facing the text of the play, as well as an introduction to Shakespeare's language, life, and theater.

Reading this play has given me even more urge than I had before to see it performed. I wish I could have studied Macbeth at school as opposed to Romeo and Juliet! A masterpiece that I cannot wait to teach.

Macbeth is basically Walter White. Without the drug making. He's someone who starts as a normal person but something(in Macbeth's case is greed) makes him change completely. 
I loved Lady Macbeth's character. By the end of the book she had reversed roles with her husband. He had become the ruthless one and she was stuck by guilt of the acts she had helped him commit. 
I also loved the witches how they represent the devil and temptation. How with just a few words they managed to transform Macbeth. 
It is a story of greed and how it can alter a person's personality. Not my favorite play by Shakespeare, but it should definitely be read.

I like the Scottish setting, and how the theme of guilt and Macbeth’s loss of sanity is portrayed. Lady Macbeth was a really interesting character.

It may be too cliché to say "I love Shakespeare" but I did so love Macbeth.

Out, damned spot! A brilliant retelling of this classic tale of witches, murder and madness. With Notes on Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre and Evil in Macbeth.

I loved the pictures in the book, and how it's so simple and easy to read.

Favourite character was Lady Macbeth. As for Macbeth something about his change in personality did not hit right. All the 3.5 stars are for Lady Macbeth!
