Day 9

I read Macbeth this morning. Macbeth is a tragedy about a regicide and its aftermath. Basically, these creepy witches tell this man named Macbeth about how he will become King. He takes it to heart. He becomes a little crazed, along with his wife as he kills the King and anyone else who may threaten to diminish his power. In the end, MacDuff kills Macbeth and brings everyone's death to justice. Macbeth is said to have been written between 1603 and 1607. It's prestige is up there with Hamlet's.
