This book has a very interesting place for me. The only play by the Bard that I have done twice during school in my school career, and yet still liked it more than R&J. 
 I do feel that this play was somewhat tedious yet the story was still good! Also this play is one of the most quotable of Shakespeare's plays. I must confess that I love the quotes from this play but prefer Akira Kurosawa's adaptation Throne Of Blood. 
 But back to the play: I always wondered what Macbeth's outcome would have been without his wife. If anything she was the true (villain) protagonist of this play and though she does not stay around as long she is the force and source of power and brains behind Macbeth and when she dies, he is destroyed right after. "One not of woman born" indeed!
