I do not know if the writers read these, but if so, i would like to say i really like this! Macbeth is one of my favourite plays from Shakespeare, and to see it written in the form of a story is fantastic. The headcannons of the writer is unique, and i really enjoy it. Reply

Very glad you like the story :) Reply

this is very helpful for me I understand Macbeth a lot more now thank you but it would be a lot easier and quicker if it was laid out as a book thanks again Reply

The translation of Macbeth into plain english is very important for even the best of students in order to properly understand what is happening in the play, what is happening in every line. There are numerous nuances and small comments that are lost if not expressed in plain english. Of course, you lose the iambic pentameter and other rhythm of the verse. But you can always read the original text once you have a complete understanding of the issues. In my opinion, you just cannot learn to express the lines properly unless you fully understand the deep emotion involved with each comment. Reply

Thank you so much for this, I couldn’t understand the monologue I had chosen. Now everything is clear for me, I will be able to apply the necessary emotions Reply
