it was ok

This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that you don't want to read is awful.

Reading a play kinda sucks to begin with, if it was meant to be read, then it would be a novel, not a play. On top of that the teach had us students read the play aloud (on person for each character for a couple pages). None of us had read the play before. None of us wanted to read it (I made the mistake of taking the 'easy' english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that looked like they weren't paying attention. All of this compounded to make me pretty much hate reading classics for something like 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem).


I also hate iambic pentameter.

Ken-ichi You should see the play performed. I read several Shakespeare plays in school as well, but it wasn't until I saw them on the stage that I appreciated the drama or the language. Also, witches! How can you not like witches!

Have you seen ? I should rent that...
