I found this book to be great in explaining the many literary elements in Macbeth which tend to be hard to find. (i.e. forshadowing in various places, unvoiced metaphors for things, and anything ranging from what various birds on the roof signify) It goes along great with your english teacher - that is if your english teacher sits down to analyze the story with you. Without the teacher it might be hard to understand becuase there is only so much detail you can fit in a small book. However, it goes into great detail about some of the history surrounding the play, and the time of its setting. (the actuall commentary takes up more space than the play itself.) - i hope this helps

I have read shakespear's Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, A Midsummers night dream and etc... But Macbeth was fantastic with some parts that didnt fit. But I still loved it and understood the real meaning inside the play. It was my first shakespeare play I read and it was my one of my favorite's. I inspire everyone to read it!

ALTHOUGH I DO NOT LIKE THE PLAY MACBETH, I AM FORCED TO READ THE BOOK IN SCHOOL. I NEVER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH IT IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE STUDY NOTES. THANK YOU.

i have to do Macbeth in English at the moment.I think it is a very powerful story but some of the language i don't understand at all and that makes it kinda hard to follow.

I was reading Macbeth alone for school and wasn't understanding it until I got this book, and it not helped me to understand Shakespeare much easier

Macbeth is not one of my favorite Shakespeare titles. Period. The notes helped me get thru my class, tho.
