Book Review: Macbeth

Book+Review%3A+Macbeth

Peter Amato , Staff Writer November 14, 2019

The name Shakespeare can be recognized by kids and adults alike around the world. In English class, students are supposed to read and analyze his work. Some examples would be Romeo and Juliet , Hamlet , and of course, Macbeth . Macbeth is the one play that stood out to me from the rest, for both good and bad reasons. Despite the praise the play receives in schools for its use of prophecies, hallucinations, and insanity, I found it to be missing a few plot points and plan to analyze the famous play.

To summarize, Macbeth stars a loyal soldier who crosses 3 witches with his partner Banquo. They tell them of a prophecy which states Macbeth will gain higher authority in Scotland and then become king, and Banquo’s relatives will eventually rule. Macbeth doesn’t believe it until, like the witches foretold, he becomes Thane of Glamis. His wife hears of the prophecy and tells Macbeth to kill the king so he can take his place. He gets through with it after seeing a hallucination, but regrets it after and kills the guards they were going to put the blame on out of fear. Macbeth becomes king and Banquo suspects he commit the murder. Macbeth has gone mad with power and sends murderers to kill Banquo. Macbeth, filled with murderous thoughts, hallucinates the ghost of Banquo at a dinner and goes insane. After some time Macbeth kills Macduff’s family, and Macduff decides to kill Macbeth for revenge. The soldiers all agree they cant have a crazy king. Meanwhile Macbeth needs help because he knows they plan to kill him, so he goes to the witches and gets another prophecy. They tell him to beware Macduff, he wont be killed until the forest comes to him, and he cant be killed by a man born of a woman. Then, in disguise as bushes , the soldiers surprise storm Macbeths castle. Macduff reveals he was cut out of his mother’s womb and beheads Macbeth, only for the first king’s son to take the throne.

So to begin, I believe its best to address some positives of the play. The portrayal of a character’s dive into insanity is captivating, to the point where it carries the stories plot. The fact that a prophecy told by a group of strangers is enough to drive a man to commit murder, it makes the reader interested to see how all the events will plat out. The characters alone all have unique personalities which really drive forth the theme of “insanity”. My personal favorites are Lady Macbeth, Macduff, and Banquo. I’d like to talk about Macduff and his character arc since it was the best in my opinion. Despite only being introduced in Act 2, he makes vital decisions in the play which end up to Macbeth’s death. His family felt like they were being ignored by him, but as soon as he hears of their death, he swears vengeance on the killer. He already didn’t trust Macbeth, but he wasn’t planning to overthrow him (or murder him for that matter). It’s not until his family has been harmed that he commits these acts of justice, and that is a respectable trait for a character.

Even after all that, I still find there to be many problems with Macbeth. The play gets praise from educators and writers all around, but because of the lack luster ending I felt missing something after the play was over. Here are some of the negatives. First off Macbeth becomes uncaring after his wife has committed suicide. After everything that led up to that very moment, it really makes no sense story wise why he felt this way, especially since later on he’s fighting off the mob with full effort and even becomes worried when he learns Macduff can kill him. His uncaring attitude should’ve been hinted at as early as immediately after the murder of the king. If they wanted to keep the uncaring element in the story, they could’ve replaced the period where Macbeth became filled with murderous desire with uncarefulness (although that wouldn’t make much sense either since Macbeth has to murder Macduff’s family and Banquo). It just doesn’t fit in the story, which brings me to my next negative: Lady Macbeth’s character arc. It really never seemed like she would feel remorse after her willingness to kill king Duncan, but she feels even more than remorse, she feels dirty and has a barren on her conscious. Her character had been so confident earlier, I don’t know why Macbeth and her swapped personalities so easily. But that gripe I’m not going to take to heart since maybe Lady Macbeth saw what she had become through her husband and regret it. My final (and simplest) problem with the story is that the witches never did anything at the end of the play and were only used as prophecy holders. I just felt like they had more to them.

In conclusion, Macbeth was an enjoyable play for a majority of its Acts. Although the ending didn’t land the way I had hoped, I might be overlooking some obvious reasons to the events playing out the way they did. If I learned anything from the story, it’s not to take things out of proportion.

The groundhog's prediction has already been made, but which would you prefer?

Macbeth Review

“Fair is fowl and fowl is fair.”

How many modern plays do you believe will be bestsellers and entertaining audiences four hundred years after they were written?

It’s quite pointless to review  The Tragedy of Macbeth . If you didn’t know you were reading a piece from Elizabethan literature, you could’ve thought that the plot was from a 2012 blockbuster movie. This is exactly where Shakespeare succeeds. Like all great writers, his appeal is timeless. You can very well identify with all his characters; somewhere inside you feel like they do, you yield to temptations, you make pacts with the Devil, and the master playwright knows it.

You love and hate the characters simultaneously. You curse Macbeth and his Queen to hell for their sins, yet you weep blood for their sufferings. Macduff wins at last, kills Macbeth for good, yet he never achieves the stature of his foe. In spite of knowing his destiny, being made aware of the diabolical deception of the three witches, the “usurper” fights the man “being of no woman born” with unflinching courage. Macbeth remains a grand character when he dies, as he has lived, by the sword:

Yet I will try the last. Before my body I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff, And damn’d be him that first cries, ‘Hold, enough’

Macbeth Synopsis

Macbeth and Banquo , Scottish generals are returning after putting down a rebellion against the king of Scotland (Duncan). They meet three witches who greet Macbeth as Thane of Cawdor and king hereafter. They also predict that Banquo shall be father to a line of kings.

Immediately afterwards, Angus and Rosse come as messenger of the king and tell Macbeth that Duncan has appointed him Thane of Cawdor as a reward for his services. The lord who was the Thane of Cawdor has lost the title for his treachery to the king; Macbeth ponders on this and writes to his wife about the prophecies. Lady Macbeth determines to do all that she can to make him king.

Duncan honours Macbeth further by coming to stay at his castle. Macbeth is led to murder the king by the force of the reproaches of his wife. Though some suspect him; he is made king. Duncan’s sons (Malcolm and Donalbain) have fled.

In view of the prophecy of the witches regarding Banquo, Macbeth tries to make himself secure on the throne by hiring murderers to kill Banquo and his son Fleance. Banquo is killed, but Fleance escapes. Later Macbeth sees the ghost of Banquo at the royal banquet. Macbeth is frightened and raves almost disclosing his guilt. Lady Macbeth saves the situation by her ingenuity and by dismissing the party.

Macbeth, already a tyrant seeks out the witches who bid him beware of Macduff. They give him the false sense of security by telling him that none of woman born shall harm him and that he will not be defeated till Birnam wood moves to Dunsinane Hill. But they also show the pageant of descendants of Banquo who will be the coming rulers of Scotland. Macbeth is deceived by the juggling fiends. He is encouraged by hope and then depressed by the show of kings.

Macbeth determines to kill Macduff. Macduff escapes to England. Macbeth has murdered Macduff’s wife and children. Rosse takes the news to Macduff who now urges Malcolm, the rightful heir to the throne of England to rid Scotland of the tyranny of Macbeth. They determine, with English aid to overthrow Macbeth, Macduff vowing personal vengeance on the tyrant.

The English soldiers led by Siward and the Scottish lords and soldiers combine to attack Macbeth. Macbeth’s caste is besieged. Macbeth is defiant and at the same time heart-sick. Lady Macbeth who has gone mad takes her own life.

Malcolm tells his soldiers to take a bough from Birnam wood as camouflage as they advance. Macbeth decides to fight and die in harness on the back. He kills young Siward. Macduff meets Macbeth and challenges him to fight. He declares that he was from his mother’s womb ‘untimely ripped’. He fights with Macbeth and kills him. The time is free – Malcolm assumes the throne and declares to restore Scotland to order and peace.

Macbeth , set primarily in Scotland, mixes witchcraft, prophecy, and murder. Three “Weïrd Sisters” appear to Macbeth and his comrade Banquo after a battle and prophesy that Macbeth will be king and that the descendants of Banquo will also reign. When Macbeth arrives at his castle, he and Lady Macbeth plot to assassinate King Duncan, soon to be their guest, so that Macbeth can become king.

After Macbeth murders Duncan, the king’s two sons flee, and Macbeth is crowned. Fearing that Banquo’s descendants will, according to the Weïrd Sisters’ predictions, take over the kingdom, Macbeth has Banquo killed. At a royal banquet that evening, Macbeth sees Banquo’s ghost appear covered in blood. Macbeth determines to consult the Weïrd Sisters again. They comfort him with ambiguous promises.

Another nobleman, Macduff, rides to England to join Duncan’s older son, Malcolm. Macbeth has Macduff’s wife and children murdered. Malcolm and Macduff lead an army against Macbeth, as Lady Macbeth goes mad and commits suicide.

Macbeth confronts Malcolm’s army, trusting in the Weïrd Sisters’ comforting promises. He learns that the promises are tricks, but continues to fight. Macduff kills Macbeth and Malcolm becomes Scotland’s king.

Book Review: Macbeth by William Shakespeare

macbeth book review pdf

Title:  Macbeth Author:  William Shakespeare Genre:  Classic | Play Format : Paperback Length : 127 pages Publisher : Oxford University Press Publication Date:  1606 My Rating: ★★★ (3 stars) Goodreads  |  Storygraph

One night on the heath, the brave and respected general Macbeth encounters three witches who foretell that he will become king of Scotland. At first sceptical, he’s urged on by the ruthless, single-minded ambitions of Lady Macbeth, who suffers none of her husband’s doubt. But seeing the prophecy through to the bloody end leads them both spiralling into paranoia, tyranny, madness, and murder. This shocking tragedy – a violent caution to those seeking power for its own sake – is, to this day, one of Shakespeare’s most popular and influential masterpieces. 

Oh Macbeth, the play I had to study in Secondary school. I haven’t read this play since those days and this month seemed to be a month of revisiting books, I read a long time ago.

Macbeth is a play about a nobleman who enters the path of evil and makes the ultimate decision to murder the king. This is turn begins a vicious circle of crime for which he cannot shake. He can’t wash the blood off his murderous greedy hands.

I enjoyed the inclusion of witchcraft, ghosts and destiny. We get to see Lady Macbeth’s descent into madness, and how Macbeth is both a hero and a villain. This story isn’t black and white, good vs evil and that made the play more interesting to me.

This play isn’t one of my favourites by Shakespeare, but I did like revisiting it. Maybe one day I’ll be able to see it on stage.

Book Review: Macbeth by William Shakespeare

Books: Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb Picture This! Shakespeare: Macbeth by Philip Page and Marilyn Petit Macbeth: A Retelling by Adam McKeown Macbeth by William Shakespeare, annotated by Burton Raffel

Genre: play Publication date: from the 1623 Folio, probably first produced in 1606, according to Burton Raffel’s Introduction

Summary: Macbeth, a Scottish baron, and his wife plot regicide after witches predict that Macbeth is to become king.  Macbeth is of two minds about the whole affair, but does the deed with the help of Lady Macbeth. They frame the king’s guards, who Macbeth then kills in his supposed outrage at the king’s murder. The king’s sons doubt that the guards are to blame and flee in the fear that they will be next on the murderer’s list. Macbeth uses their escape to spread the story that the king’s sons paid the guard to murder their father and, thus, Macbeth takes over the throne.

Macbeth’s friends and countrymen begin to suspect Macbeth’s guilt. Banquo, who was with Macbeth during the conversation with the witches, received a prediction as well: that it would be his progeny, not Macbeth’s that hold the throne in the future. Macbeth fears Banquo’s suspicion and realizes that if all the witches’ predictions come true, Macbeth has committed murder to benefit Banquo’s son.  Macbeth sends ruffians to fix the problem. They kill Banquo but his son escapes.

Banquo’s ghost, visible only to Macbeth, shows up at a banquet, unnerving Macbeth visibly which causes his guests such discomfort that they leave the table.

Macbeth visits the witches again (“double, double toil and trouble”). With visions, they offer some advice (beware Macduff) and assurances (“none of woman born shall harm Macbeth” and “Macbeth shall never vanquished be, until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane hill shall come against him”) but they also continue to predict that it will be Banquo’s descendants, not Macbeth’s, who inherit the throne.

Macbeth receives word that Macduff has gone to England to help Malcolm, King Duncan’s son, regain the throne. He sends troops to Macduff’s home where they kill his wife and children.

Lady Macbeth, attended by a maid and physician, is witnessed sleepwalking and obsessively rubbing her hands (“Out, damned spot!”).

Macduff and Malcolm, the prince, march toward Macbeth’s stronghold at Dunsinane with a force of English and Scottish soldiers. They gather in Birnam Wood and order everyone to cut down branches and use them to disguise their presence and number as they proceed across the field to Dunsinane, thus fulfilling the prophecy that Birnam Wood will move against Dunsinane.

The Queen, Lady Macbeth, dies and Macbeth makes this famous speech:

Life’s but a walking shadow; a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

The battle commences. The castle is lost, but Macbeth fights on, believing that he can not be killed because all men are of women born. Macduff, who demanded of his fellow fighters that he be allowed to kill Macbeth in retaliation for the deaths of his wife and children, seeks out Macbeth and fights him declaring, “Macduff was from his mother’s womb untimely ripped.” Macbeth is slain, fulfilling the last of the witches’ prophecies about him.

The battle ends. Macduff presents Macbeth’s head to Malcolm with the greeting “Hail, King of Scotland,” a cry that is taken up throughout the castle.

Macbeth: A Retelling by Adam McKeown

The other three books, I read concurrently, one scene at a time. I started with the Picture This! Shakespeare version of Macbeth , a graphic novel. Then, I read the relevant chapter in Macbeth: A Retelling  by Adam McKeown, part of The Young Reader’s Shakespeare series. According to the library catalog, The School Library Journal deemed McKeown’s retelling suitable for Grades 5 to 10. It’s a large format chapter book with dramatic drawings, sharp angles and expressive faces, by Lynne Cannoy. And, finally, I read the actual play using the one from The Annotated Shakespeare series by Yale University Press, annotated by Burton Raffel.

Armed with three versions, I worked my way through and I have learned it well enough that I can retell it, as above, and to Rick so that he will also be prepared to see the play tonight.

Appeal: Macbeth is a timeless tale of political intrigue interspersed with witches and battle scenes to entertain all of us who like our stories with a dash of adventure.

Book Review: Macbeth by William Shakespeare — 20 Comments

What a good system for working through the play! I have a very, very hard time with Shakespeare, but I think reading the play along with a more narrative version might work well for me.

I’m planning to read a couple of Shakespeare plays, hopefully in the near future, and I like your approach! Sometimes I do get lost reading the originals, and a familiarity with the story going in would definitely help.

I was actually in a version of Macbeth in school and have always meant to read it again!

THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH (Book Review)

Profile image of Dr. ARSLAN A K H T A R ALI

Macbeth is a tragedy by William Shakespeare; it is thought to have been first performed in 1606. It dramatizes the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake. The most jolting line of the play "No more sleep, Macbeth does murder sleep".

This study examines the power of nature and the supernatural powers in Macbeth, the last and the shortest of Shakespeare’s great tragedies, and their influence on the course of events in the play. Macbeth is the one of Shakespeare plays that supernatural figures and elements take place at most. The mainstays of the play are developing events as a result of the prophecies of the witches, supernatural powers’ triggering human greed and as a result of this, deterioration, distortion and disorder occurring on the universal order. In this study, in which cases the harmony and balance of nature is impaired, what happens as a result of this deterioration and the perspectives of the people of Shakespeare’s era about the witches were examined with comments by famous critics.

Abstract. The use of secondary databases is an efficient and economic means by which to analyze data in empirical research. The speed and relatively low cost of secondary databases in the field of Islamic economics make them ideal for good research outcomes. However, no or little attention has been paid to the use of secondary data in the experimental research in Islamic economics. The aim of this paper is to stimulate the interest of Islamic economics and finance researchers in using secondary data, either as a substitute or complement for primary data, bearing in mind both the benefits and shortcomings of doing so. It is suggested that secondary databases not only offer advantages in terms of cost and effort, but also that in certain cases their use may overcome some of the difficulties that particularly afflict Islamic economics researchers in the gathering of primary data.

  5. Book Review: Macbeth

    To summarize, Macbeth stars a loyal soldier who crosses 3 witches with his partner Banquo.
