The book is supposed to be based on a bloody ruler so if you don't want any mentions of blood, death, or violence, don't read. There is a small scene that is not described but does mention a person dying by their own hands. So if you don't even like the mention of suicide I wouldn't recommend.blueberry0531's review against another edition

Macbeth doesn't necessarily start out as a power hungry noble. He's seen as a loyal member of Duncan's court until he meets the witches who provide him with the temptation of being king. It's very psychological, really.
Also people who say there's no comedy in this play clearly did not make it to the last act:
"Macbeth: Damn the devil black tho cream faced loon! Where got'st thou that goose look?
Servant: There is ten thousand-
Macbeth: Geese, villan?
Servant: Soldiers, sir." (Macbeth V.III.12 - 16)
Is this Macbeth's descent into madness? yes. Is this also hilarious? yes.

"What, you egg!" - murderer
These are both so iconic but the egg one is better
I don't know why I always find Shakespeare funny but this book was quick and really funny. I definitely loved it more than romeo and juliet. One of my goals was to read more dark books and this is definitely really dark. The audiobook is so good too. I don't think I would have gotten through it without it. I thought it was interesting how Macbeth didn't originally want to kill Duncan but then ofc our psychopath Lady Macbeth is greedy af and talked him into it. But then as the play progresses, he's now the overconfident and greedy one and she's troubled with all the murders. Like girl you literally started this. Ok but Banquo's ghost haunting Macbeth was hilarious, everyone thought he was mentally sick. And then he literally starts killing everyone, including his friends, and I'm like sir are you alright? I can't wait to see the new movie like the cinematography looks amazing and denzel washington...
