Does anyone understand Macbeth????

I was an English major, but never really enjoyed Shakespeare. I did take a semester of it. I got hold of the Cliff's notes, which really helped me. In fact, I managed to get an A. Still not sure how that happened!

I did too know that Macbeth & Lady Macbeth were two different people. What did I say to make you think I thought they were one and the same? I said it was the prose that I didn't understand.

Please forgive me, all you English teachers out there.

But I never understood why teachers would have kids READ Shakespeare. I mean, he wrote them to be acted and watched, not read like a novel.

So I definately say rent a film version. I liked Macbeth in H.S. I had a great Eng. teacher though, who explained everything really well. Basically, she read us the play aloud (she was great at reading aloud) and made comments along the way. Shakespeare makes a lot more sense when you see it performed. At least, it does to me!
