˜Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury¦signifying nothing`”this is the final musing of Macbeth in this immortal and mesmerizing play by William Shakespeare. Set in tumultuous eleventh-century Scotland, and probably meant as a tribute to King James I, who was deeply interested in witchcraft, it portrays ruthless ambition and the insoluble cipher of fate and human will. Macbeth`s searing ambition for the throne combusts into action through the encouragement of possibly supernatural forces and his wife”the unforgettable Lady Macbeth. The stifling atmosphere of conspiracy, gore, dark magic, and ultimately tragedy has gripped audiences and readers alike over the ages. Macbeth is a remarkable portrayal of a heroic and deeply flawed man, the labyrinthine intricacies of his psyche, and his tragic fall. isbn-9788131711033
