Add a CommentMost people have at some point heard that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Just how far will someone go to obtain power, and will they still be able to live with themselves once they have achieved it? This is clearly evident in one of the most highly anticipated play of all times, Macbeth. Macbeth, the name of a corrupt king provides the reader with a stark harsh reality of ultra-ego and wrong intentions leading a complete demise. Macbeth, written in 1606, is one of William Shakespeare’s most well-known plays. It follows the Scottish nobleman Macbeth’s descent into madness and murder after he and his wife commit regicide to take control of the throne and fulfil their own ambitions. The story line, characters and plot of Macbeth are so intriguing, that a person cannot finish stop until they finish. Macbeth contains many versatile ideas, therefore can appeal to a larger audience.

The story of Macbeth is about ambition at its excess, believe in false myth. Which can ultimately reflect moral and dramatic trends of today.
PERHAPS SHAKESPERE'S BEST PLAY!
not one of shakespeare's greatest. was disturbingly violent in many ways.
A great play made easy. It is one of my favorites because of how the plot line went. The witches were amazing as well. It is one of Shakespeare's better works.
even though this is a tragic play filled with superstition & death, it is by far one of Shakespeare's best works
A great classic. What I like about this play was the amazing portrayal of its message. It truly shows how greed, lust for power and ambition combined can be destructive to a person. Though it is a tragedy, the involvement of the witches and the funny porter scene gave readers a break from all the chaos that's been happening. Shakespeare's Macbeth is worth reading.
