About This Novel

"Macbeth" is one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies. It tells the story of the Scottish general Macbeth who received a prophecy from three witches that he would become king. Out of ambition and the instigation of his wife, Macbeth assassinated King Duncan and proclaimed himself king. Fear and suspicion make Macbeth more and more evil and cruel. In the end, faced with the siege of Duncan's son and the English reinforcements he invited, Macbeth finally ended up bowing his head. The period from 1590 to 1613 was the golden age of Shakespeare's creation. His early plays, mainly comedies and historical dramas, reached their peak of depth and artistry in the late 16th century. By 1608, he was mainly writing tragedies. Shakespeare advocated noble sentiments, and his tragedies often described sacrifice and revenge, including "Othello", "Hamlet", "King Lear" and "Macbeth", which are considered among the best examples in the English language. Towards the end of his life, he began to write tragicomedies, also known as romance plays.

Good and evil must eventually end, a small book worth reading

Many themes are taken from Macbeth, which makes me have to appreciate the famous work. Mr. Zhu Shenghao's translation is beautiful in diction and not complicated in content. The story of the general Macbeth who was regicide and was killed by the former monarch's son together with foreign countries uses some unnatural elements, prophecies of witches, ghosts, etc. To add mystery. Macbeth and his wife are both strong on the outside, but they are strong on the outside. Ask them to learn from the Queen of Heaven, pretending to be the hands of others to constantly eradicate the enemy, defeating them one by one.
