A classic piece of literature. Macbeth is a haunting, articulate retelling of an old Scottish myth, and Shakespeare rarely plays on stereotypes and mythology (which he is renowned for) better than he does here. The obscene amount of violence is not exactly to my taste, hence the lower rating, but there is a reason why it is such a common play for literature courses: there is simply so much to engage with.
