Amazing purchase arrived on timee..so happy to get this

SirEvery play of William Shakespeare is unique. Macbeth and King Lear, Othello and Hamlet, are reckoned Shakespeare's four principal tragedies. Lear stands first for the profound intensity of the passion; Macbeth for the wildness of the imagination and the rapidity of action; Othello for the progressive interest and powerful alternations of feeling; Hamlet for the refined development of thought and sentiment.If the force of the genius shewn in each of the work is astonishing, their variety is not less so.Macbeth himself appears driven along by the violance of the fate like a vessel drifting before a storm: he reels to and fro like a drunken man he staggers under the weight of his own purposes and the suggestion of others; he stands at bay with his situation;and from the superstitious awe and breathless suspens into which the communication of Weird Sisters throw him is on with impious and bloody hand to tear aside the veil which hides the uncertainty of the future.The world is obliged to have four great tragedies from Shakespeare.They are Hamlet,King Lear, Macbeth and Othello.Some say that Hamlet is number one, some say it is Macbeth and others opine that it is King Lear. But I find it is Macbeth which is the greatest tragedy of English Language.It would appear that about 1601 Shakespeare lost his faith in the world. The light heartedness of his earlier plays vanished; the laughter died away from his lips, the Macbeth is product of this. His words, his imagery,his depth, his splandid language make this play great.It is tragedy of ambition, revenge.The art of Shakespeare is fully displayed in this drama.The Penguin Shakespeare is supreme and it's editor Mr Stenley Wells is authority on Shakespeare.The introduction is more than sufficient ,and paraphrase is good although it is not vivid.As great art of his language I cite few examples from the book."Stars, hide your fires;Let not light see my black and deep desires:The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be,Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see."Macbeth act 1 scene 5 before murder." Macbeth. I 'll go no more:Iam afraid to think what I have done;Look on't again I dare not" after murder of king DunkanMacbeth. " Iam settled, and bend upEach corporal agent to this terrible feat.Away, and mock the time with fairist show:False face must hide what the heart doth know"I cannot take more space and request readers they may relish the greatest of tragedies of William Shakespeare.I very strongly recommend the drama to readers.After reading only they would realise the enjoyment of this.KS Chaturvedi Mathura

The people who all are completely obsessed with all literature and particularly Shakespearen creations, must read this book, because it's a summation of so many morals and the grand moral of the book that explains, that greed and lust for the power destroys you is really worth it. And for all those who are here to begin their reading, then this book is highly recommended.

"Macbeth" is a timeless Shakespearean tragedy that delves into themes of ambition, power, and the corrupting influence of unchecked ambition. It offers a captivating exploration of the human psyche and the consequences of one's actions. With its compelling characters and memorable lines. And I just love it
