This is Shakespeare's best play. If you can see it in person, please do! However there are some amazing readings on Youtube as well. The story deals with so much guilt and pain.

Probably one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, upon closer examination. The careful attention to and deconstruction of gender is probably one of my favorite elements of the play.

Moderate: Misogyny and Transphobia

The transphobia is arguable but considering the Witches Three are likely transfeminized subjects in the Middle Ages, the three face transphobia and misogyny (and transmisogyny) from Banquo. The death and murder is...pretty explicit within the text.

I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve read Macbeth. I’ve watched every adaptation I was able to find. (For context I was doing an extract of the play for a recital so I needed to completely absorb this play and everything in and around it and I loved every minet of it! It was so juicy and researching was truly delight. The character Lady Macbeth is such a complex, powerful and ambitious woman, her descent into madness throughout the play is so astounding. The play was so rich I loved picking it apart and I’ll always hold the memories of my time with it close to my heart.
