Macbeth

William Shakespeare

Review By: Shelby

Anyway, Macbeth is a play about this scottish dude and some witches come up to him and they're like "hey Macbeth! You're gonna be king!" and so Macbeth thinks: Ok it's my fate... so i have to make it happen! like a dummy. So he kills the king.. and the princes flee, and Macbeth becomes king! but to keep his secret he has to kill a whole bunch of other people...

But Macbeth sucks as a king, and his wife, who was all evil before, is all weak and has gone crazy.

Then Macduff (yes another Mac... it's scotland) comes around with the old king's son, Malcolm. And they're like.. "no way man, Malcolm's supposed to be king! Macbeth's a tyrant!" so they pretty much overthrow him.

I know i gave it away but i'm just thinking probably everyone knows this story anyway. uhhhmm.....

some facts about this story:

It's really funny

When they give this play people aren't allowed to say Macbeth until it's over... it's bad luck

In Louise Rennison's Georgia Nicolson books, Georgia and her schoolmates are giving the play Macbeth. Since she can't say the name, in her diary (or whatever the hell it is) she calls it MacUseless. Which is funny, because it is.
