MACBETH (dun dun duunnnnn)

In my Senior Project/ English 12 class, we're reading, or were reading, Macbeth. Personally, I enjoyed Hamlet and Romeo & Juliet much better, but I got to follow the curriculum right? So, as many of you may know, the story centers around this grown cry-baby, Macbeth, and his crazily wild ride to become King. Riding in the passenger seat, as well as taking the wheels from time to time, is his insane wife Lady Macbeth (maybe it's a "lady" thing cause that Lady Gaga is a weirdo too). From the very first scene she was in I knew she was a loon, I mean a real nutcase. Not only that, but she's somewhat of a...a.._itch. (I'm being graded on this, can't have naughty words ;D) When she first appears on the scene, she complains what a limp noodle Macbeth is, and how things could be different and blah, blah, blah. Actually, she kind of reminds me of my mom, but that's a story for another time. So the book/play is pretty much summed up like this: Crazy Lady tells The Incredible Whipped Boy, Macbeth, that he needs to kill Duncan so they can be top dog. He says yes (wuh-chhh, wuh-chhh) and, after the bloody deed, becomes King of Scotland. Things go peachy keen for awhile until the witches meddle some more and Macbeth kills his buddy, Duncan. I think the O'Jays had Macbeth in mind when they wrote Backstabbers. Anyway, the whole time this nonsense is going on Macduff, who was against Macbeth's reign from the beginning, starts up a rebellion of sorts to put Malcolm, the true heir, back on the radar. Lady Crazy does what most crazies do and kills herself and Macbeth is ultimately beheaded by Macduff. As I've said before, I didn't really like this story. There was just too much going on to really keep me interested, but I'm not a critic and Shakespeare is dead so my opinion doesn't matter much now does it?
