Macbeth

I love Shakespeare. I love every word that he put on his books. Macbeth is one of my favourites characters besides Hamlet. He represents mankind with all his defects and virtues.

The best thing about Macbeth is that it would eventually lead to Kurosawa's adaption: Throne of Blood.

So much better than Bill's version.

“Art thou afeard to be the same in thine own act and valour as thou art in desire?”

Lady Macbeth was one of my favourite parts of this play. People can question her morality all they want but I personally admired her ambition and bravery in acting out her desires, and staying loyal to her husband. Meanwhile, Macbeth was initially too much of a coward to work towards his desires, killed his loyalty to the king, murdered his friend, went on a crazy killing spree, and then simply shrugged off his wife's death. Lady Macbeth is a freaking badass. I mean just look at this:

Come, you spiritsThat tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,And fill me from the crown to the toe top-fullOf direst cruelty. Make thick my blood.Stop up the access and passage to remorse,That no compunctious visitings of natureShake my fell purpose, nor keep peace betweenThe effect and it!
