描述
Although it is a gripping drama of revenge, its greatness lies largely in the depiction of the Prince as a complex, divided, introspective character. As we listen to his sceptical reflections on human nature, morality and death, we understand why he has been termed 'the first modern man.'
The text of this edition is based on that of the Cambridge University Press New Shakespeare, edited by John Dover Wilson. The play-text and its Glossary have been revised by Cedirc Watts, who has also provided the introduction and Notes.

I was brought up reading Shakespeare from an early age as my late father was an English teacher and wanted me to be ‘well read’ and Macbeth was one of my favourites as he would sometimes read the parts with me in his Scottish accent. So when I saw that there were Manga versions of the Shakespeare plays I was curious as to how something that’s traditionally told on the stage would come across in this medium.
I loved it.
The artwork is so well done, and the language of William Shakespeare is woven well into the storytelling, I think these books would be perfect for students who were struggling with the more traditional methods of telling the tale of an overly ambitious laird who murders his way onto the Scottish crown. The emotions the characters experience are so vivid thanks to the style of the artwork and helped draw you into this centuries old tale.
These books should be available in every school library and are a fantastic way of telling stories that even after all these years still draw in so many readers or attendees of the plays in. Whether you’re new to the tales or not - I think these are a great read for any age.
They are so long-winded my god. Try and place a word in I dare you. Not my favourite Shakespeare.
