I love it, read the book after watching Ted-Ed's animation so I had some context– my first introduction to Shakespeare and it's a well-worth read because it's short and each characters are engaging enough to keep you hooked.

lady macbeth is a girlboss fr she didnt deserve an offscreen death. macbeth spending 90% of the play worrying about the future should be relatable to the kids, would recommend.

I didn’t like it just don’t like this type of story.

It’s in script format (it’s a play).
The character development is people becoming more evil.
