This could have been a 5☆ but the ending was just rushed. Like Bill come on. You drag the hell out of R+J but this you rush? So sad. Still love the first 80%

I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve read Macbeth. I’ve watched every adaptation I was able to find. (For context I was doing an extract of the play for a recital so I needed to completely absorb this play and everything in and around it and I loved every minet of it! It was so juicy and researching was truly delight. The character Lady Macbeth is such a complex, powerful and ambitious woman, her descent into madness throughout the play is so astounding. The play was so rich I loved picking it apart and I’ll always hold the memories of my time with it close to my heart.

A notable piece from Shakespeare that isn't overly dramatized. Realistic human behaviors. Metaphors.

Some content warnings not to be taken literally, due to the time period the play is set in. Example: "police brutality" adjacent to atrocities the knights committed (specifically against Macduff's family).

"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." - second witch
"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...
