I absolutely adored reading this play for my English class!! Its one of my favorite works of William Shakespeare. I had so much fun reading through it and it has everything an exciting and interesting play needs. It was so much fun writing my essay on this and I was obsessed with the representation of the character Lady Macbeth.
Loved it

This was really interesting, and the audiobook I listened to was GREAT, but it wasn't my favorite Shakespeare.
Maybe I'm just not a fan of some tragedies? In Macbeth, everyone is just the worst, but it's very interesting to read about them even if I don't love it.
I want to try reading it again / seeing it, but reading it so spread out and not actually seeing it played out probably hurt my rating.

I would have given this play one star but the Porter was just so amazing when you translate his drunken speech into normal english! He made the play so much better just with that one speech :)
