emmafishhh 's review for:

Macbeth by William Shakespeare

3.25

adventurous dark mysterious slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was one of Shakespeare’s better plays, but seemed extremely long and unnecessarily drug out. The evolution of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s characters was good, but I thought there were often things that weren’t relevant going on. Pretty good plot, but everything at the end felt extremely rushed when it should have the extended material. It is on a similar quality level with Taming of the Shrew, which disappointed me while reading.
