I will die on the hill that this is Shakespeare's best play. Everything about it! The witches, the dagger, the ghost of banquo, I just love it all. It's so atmospheric and I re-read it every year as spooky season approaches...one of my favourite opening scenes ever!
'By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.'
'Look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under it.'

Recommended if you like: a quiet wood, transformation, wondering if you have any choice at all, toxic masculinity, red wine, horoscopes.

I'm not the biggest Shakespeare fan. I know... shocking revelation by an English Lit BA. Nevertheless, reading 'Macbeth' was such a fun experience. Maybe it was because my teacher was very engaging when explaining the context and symbolism of it, or maybe it was because the plot was so mind-blowing that it bordered on being a parody.
Macbeth has insane monologues (shoutout to Lady Macbeth), beautifully written verses, and there are many others on this platform that may inform you why this play has become a classic; but as someone who doesn't read Shakespeare much, I can definitely tell you, it was such a fun play to read.
