Sinopsis

This title includes the full story with less dialogue for a fast-paced read. It's 11th century Scotland. Macbeth, Thane of Glamis, is one of King Duncan's greatest war captains., Upon returning from a battle with the rebellious Thane of Cawdor, Macbeth and Banquo encounter three witches, who prophecy that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and then King. They also prophecy that Banquo will become the father of kings. When Lady Macbeth hears this, she is determined to push her husband to take fate into his own hands and make himself king by murdering Duncan.,

Macbeth is reluctant to harm Duncan. But, when the King makes arrangements to visit Macbeth's castle, the opportunity presents itself. Pressed on by his wife, Macbeth kills Duncan and blames the King's drunken attendants, who he also kills., However, Macbeth is racked with guilt and begins to see apparitions.When the body is discovered, Malcolm and Donalbain, the King's sons, are suspicious of Macbeth and flee for their lives. To everyone else, it looks as if the sons have been the chief conspirators and Macbeth is crowned King of Scotland. Banquo's suspicions grow, based on his encounter with the witches and Macbeth is wary of the second prophecy concerning Banquo's offspring.,

Macbeth hires assassins to kill Banquo and his son, Fleance. Banquo is murdered that night, but Fleance escapes. The bloody ghost of Banquo appears to Macbeth at a feast, tormenting his already guilty conscience.,

In addition, Macduff, once a comrade of Macbeth, has fled after the King's sons to England, as he also suspects Macbeth.In revenge, Macbeth butchers Macduff's entire household. Macduff and the King's sons raise an army in England and march against Macbeth, who is given another prophecy by the witches, as he prepares for the assault. They tell him his throne is safe until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane and he will not die by the hand of any man born of a woman., Macbeth now feels invincible. Lady Macb

Críticas

"I'm fascinated by your approach to the play and its language. I find them gripping, dramatic and, although for me the original Shakespeare is always my reason for turning to these plays, I think that what you are doing in illuminating and making perhaps more lucid, especially for young people, is clever and meaningful." Patrick Stewart, Actor

Biografía del autor

William Shakespeare is one of the most widely read authors and possibly the best dramatist ever to live. The actual date of his birth is not known but, traditionally, April 23 1564, has been his accepted birthday (St George's Day). He died on the same date in 1616, aged 52.The life of William Shakespeare can be divided into three acts. The first 20 years of his life were spent in Stratford-upon-Avon where he grew up, went to school, got married and became a father. The next 25 years he spent as an actor and playwright in London and he spent his last few years back in Stratford-upon-Avon where he enjoyed his retirement in moderate wealth gained from his successful years in the theatre.William was the eldest son of tradesman John Shakespeare and Mary Arden, and the third of eight children. His father was later elected mayor of Stratford which was the highest post a man in civic politics could attain. In sixteenth-century England, William was lucky to survive into adulthood; scurvy, smallpox, tuberculosis, typhus and dysentery shortened life expectancy at the time to approximately 35 years. The Bubonic Plague took the lives of many and was believed to have taken the lives of three of William's seven siblings.Little is known of William's childhood other than it is thought that he attended the local grammar school where he studied Latin and English literature. In 1582, at the age of 18, William married a local farmer's daughter, Anne Hathaway, who was eight years his senior and three months pregnant. During their marriage they had three children: Susanna, born on May 26th 1583 and twins, Hamnet and Judith, born on February 2nd 1585. Hamnet, William's only son, caught Bubonic Plague and died aged just 11.Five years into his marriage William moved to London and appeared in many small parts at The Globe theatre, one of the biggest theatres in England. His first appearance in public as a poet was in 1593 with "Venus and Adonis" and again in the following year with "The Rape of Lucrece". Later on, in 1599, he became joint proprietor of The Globe. When Queen Elizabeth died in 1603, she was succeeded by her cousin King James of Scotland. King James supported William and his band of actors and gave them license to call themselves the "King's Men" in return for entertaining the court regularly.In just 23 years, between approximately 1590 and 1613, William Shakespeare is attributed with writing 38 plays, 154 sonnets and 5 poems. "Love's Labour's Lost" and "The Comedy of Errors" are thought to be among Shakespeare's earliest plays followed by "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" and "Romeo and Juliet". His final play was Henry VIII, two years before he died. The cause of his death remains unknown.He was buried on April 25th, two days after his death, at the Church of the Holy Trinity (the same Church where he had been baptised 52 years earlier). His gravestone bears these words (which it is believed William himself wrote):-"Good friend for Jesus sake forbearTo dig the dust enclosed here!Blest be the man that spares these stones,And curst be he that moves my bones"At the time of his death, William had substantial properties, which he bestowed on his family and associates from the theatre. In his will he left his wife, the former Anne Hathaway, his second best bed!William Shakespeare's last direct descendant died in 1670. She was his granddaughter, Elizabeth.
