This book is part of the Shakespeare drama collection series. This series is a bilingual version (English is the original British novel). The book is equipped with pen illustrations by the master illustrator Hugh Thomson. It also comes with a theater version audiobook with pure American pronunciation. This book is one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies. General Macbeth, cousin of King Duncan of Scotland, returned from serving the king in suppressing rebellion and resisting invasion. Driven by ambition, he murdered Duncan and became king. In order to cover up others' eyes and prevent others from seizing the throne, he gradually killed Duncan's guards, Banquo, and the wife and children of the noble Macduff. Fear and suspicion make Macbeth more and more evil and cruel. Lady Macbeth went insane and committed suicide, which was also a great stimulus to him. With all the rebels and relatives separated, Macbeth faced the siege of Duncan's son and the English reinforcements he invited, and ended up bowing his head.
Reader comments
Under the temptation of power and desire, he moved step by step towards degradation and destruction. I especially like the famous saying in the book: "Life is just a walking shadow, a poor actor who shows his hands on the stage. He appears for a moment and then quietly retreats without a sound." This sentence expresses the impermanence and sadness of life. The plot in the book is gripping, especially the psychological changes of Macbeth and his wife after murdering Duncan, and their unscrupulous behavior in order to retain power, which impressed me deeply. This book is not only a classic drama, but also a profound discussion of human nature. Highly recommended!
