Take a photo of a barcode or cover
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
Macbeth follows the tale of Macbeth and his fellow soldier, Banquo who run into three witches on their way home from battle. The witches reveal a mysterious prophecy to him and from that point, Macbeth's life and that of his countrymen begins to unravel.
You might think that the real villains of this book would be the witches who prophesied and whose words lead to destruction of families and homes, but in my opinion, the real villain is greed. Once Macbeth finds out he is basically unchallengeable, it corrupts his and his wife's morals- and their greed results in mass murders and loss of life.
I'm really glad I am giving Shakespeare a chance. His works are iconic and I'm happy I get to experience his genius, even if it's centuries later.
