A little about the book
After three witches predict that Macbeth will become king, he and Lady Macbeth try to secure the future they think they have been promised. What follows makes each new act of control create another threat to their position.
The play is short, and its language keeps returning to sleep, blood and the difficulty of seeing clearly. Read the scenes aloud to hear how differently confidence sounds before and after a decision becomes irreversible.
