I'm glad I read this along with the play, the comments were quite useful.

[Kyndra Lemke]

Oh, my favorite notes. Good ole Cliff.

[G. Salter]

I kinda wish I'd read this before I wrote an academic article about Macbeth adaptations... 50ish years on, it's still a great overview of the play, with some clever insights into different interpretations.

[Elevetha]

I like helpful things. Even if I think said helpful thing reads way too much into the work it is analyzing.
