Lucy Black, August 28, 2009 (view all comments by Lucy Black)
Everyone should read Macbeth, at least once if not over and over again. It is one of the most well-written, most produced, and most loved of Shakespeare’s plays. The title character as well as the infamous Lady Macbeth, continue to be referenced as symbols of “evil ambition,” making this play relevant to readers of modern literature, as well as to everyone who just loves some Elizabethan drama. This is hands down my favourite of the Great Bard’s works, and I cannot recommend it too highly.
