Probably one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, upon closer examination. The careful attention to and deconstruction of gender is probably one of my favorite elements of the play.

Since reading through this earlier in the month, I've already re-read bits and sat through auditions and discussed it at length...so my opinion has changed and probably will change. BUT I'm going to try to recall my initial re-reading after many years: surprise at the appearance of so many well-known lines and confirmation why so many have Lady Macbeth on their bucket list. With most plays, it seems, re-readings result in deeper understandings and fonder feelings.

To be honest, I had almost no idea what was going on so every time a character said someone died I was immediately like "what?!" so I'm going to have to reread this one too. But the witches were cool and creepy
