Macbeth
by William Shakespeare
Point: Though delightful words may charm your ears, they may mean soon you will end your years.
Path: Shakespeare’s tragedy follows the life of a celebrated military hero, Macbeth, from an unexpected prophecy to its final fulfillment. Macbeth hears that he will be a king and takes matters into his own hands. The story continues with the consequences of treason, sin and guilt.
Sources: Supposedly this is loosely based upon the accounts of King Macbeth of Scotland, Macduff, and Duncan in Holinshed’s Chronicles(1587).
Personal App: Life is ugly. Ambition misplaced makes it uglier.
Favorite Quote: MALCOLM “Dispute it like a man.” MACDUFF “I shall do so, But I must also feel it as a man.”
Stars: 5 out of 5
It would be worth another read and I would recommend it.
