CrystalE02 1. The Taming of the Shrew, it was the first Shakespeare play I ever seen when I was in the 7th grade.

2. Les Miserables, I loved the book and only seen performances on TV, I would like to see it in person on day.

3. The Nutcracker, I have always loved the story, I really would like to see this in person on day too.

I read this play in high school, and I liked how Macbeth‘s mental health slowly deteriorates. All of his decisions come back to haunt him (sometimes quite literally.) This was well written and I have good memories of acting this in class.

I can never get enough of this play and have taught it for years with my freshmen honors' students. As freshmen, they read Shakespeare's shortest play; as sophomores, they read HAMLET, his largest play (and magnum opus IMHO). I always thought of MACBETH as a precursor to HAMLET, and that's how I taught it. One of his darkest plays, and one perhaps to revisit during these turbulent times.

#SinisterArt Day 13
Justifiably known for his work The Nightmare, an inspiration for fellow artists & writers, Henry Fuseli painted numerous works based on literature throughout his life. He created several from Macbeth including the one above of the The Three Weird Sisters. Interestingly enough, there are three different paintings of the above & it appears that art scholars agree that the pictured is a study for the following refined versions.

vivastory This is an interesting article, with picture of each painting of the Witches:

Reggie We read McBeth in 7th grade and then listened to an audio performance on record and I will never forget those kids who get killed and her not being able to wipe blood off her hands. I kept looking around at all my classmates like Are ya‘ll hearing what I‘m hearing? I think we were too young. But here I am talking about it so maybe not. Also I‘ve known some Lady McB‘s in my time. The drive, the determination, the what have I done?!!! Lol 1y
vivastory @Reggie “Out, damned spot!“ 👏 Macbeth is my favorite Shakespeare. By far the best adaptation I have seen so far is the one w/ Patrick Stewart. 1y

Helping my eldest with her GCSE revision for Eng lit. Really loved discussing this play, it's characterisations, themes, and historical context with her. Then we watched Joel Coen's The tragedy of Macbeth, which was magnificent.

I had a lot of fun reading this with my book club! I‘m always a fan of Shakespeare, especially with there‘s witch‘s and murder involved.

We also watched the new movie The Tragedy of Macbeth. Wow, that movie was visually stunning! Black and white, open and empty, diagonals and textures, it feels simple and complex at the same time. Definitely worth checking out!

“something wicked this way comes”
The witches were definitely my favorite part, they decided they didn‘t want peace they wanted problems so that‘s what they did. I also loved how there was barely a sane person in this book, very relatable.
The plot really shows how far those who seek power for their own sake will go and the dangers of ambition so it was very interesting, super easy to read.

TH3F4LC0N I actually have a copy of that edition of Macbeth, but I really prefer the Signet classics version. The purple one doesn‘t have the stage directions in it and makes it harder, for me at least, to visualize the action. But still, great play. 3y

Picked this up for 25 cents the other day at a secondhand store. It has “Teacher Copy” written on it and it‘s full of annotations, so that‘s a plus. I‘ve got other things to read before I get to it though, so I guess I‘ll have to put it off until “tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow”. 😅

I've decided to join in on the #MayCharacters photo challenge! I've never participated in a photo challenge before but this one stood out to me and I think it will be fun 😊

Day 1: Murders - of course my first thought was Shakespeare! Macbeth is one of his most violent tragedies and the morality and guilt behind murdering is an important theme.

I wish Shakespeare had written a prequel to explain how Lady Macbeth became so violent. “Some witches told my husband he‘ll be king, OKAY IT‘S MURDER TIME, BITCH.” It‘s been over 20 years since I read this in high school but I still recalled so many lines & it was fun to come across them again. Love the commentary on the damage caused by lust for power, & the clever wordplay. Could stand to be a bit longer w/more depth, but still a fun one. 4/5 ⭐️

Vansa I quite loved Jo Nesbo's retelling- gives Lady Macbeth a heartwrenching backstory! 3y

I‘m in a mood to get a lot of reading done over this long weekend, and I‘m gonna take advantage of it. I read this in high school—twice actually. I transferred from one school in my hometown to the other between sophomore and junior year, and at the first school we read in sophomore year, at the second we read it senior year. But I haven‘t picked it up since then, and that was......a long time ago, LOL 👵🏻

I've always loved reading Shakespeare, especially Romeo and Juliet. Macbeth was quite dark, as expected, and quite gruesome, I really loved the darkness and betrayals in this play, especially how Macbeth rises up and even arranges murders so he can become royalty. A few things I didn't understand, but luckily my copy of the book has a glossary so I could learn. I love the way Shakespeare wrote, and I'm definitely glad I picked this one up!
