Hi-Lo, graphic novels, illustrated, Shakespeare, classics. After encountering three witches, the warrior Macbeth waits to see if their predictions come true.

As the tragedy unfolds, Macbeth's decisions lead to more ruin. He returns to the witches and believes that his future is secure but is he interpreting the premonitions correctly? This series features classic Shakespeare retold with graphic color illustrations. Educators using the Dale-Chall vocabulary system adapted each title.

A horrific tale of ambition, murder, guilt and inescapable fate... much crazier once ghosts, witches, and graphic violence join the scene

[Sonya]

Interesting summary of Macbeth's plot through a comic book. The female characters (who aren't witches) have their legs showing in a sexy way. Weird. Not rating.

Greed can drive anybody crazy and in the end it is bound to get back at you. A dark yet thought provoking story.

به عنوان مقدمه و جهت آشنایی با نمایشنامه های شکسپیر کتاب خوبی هست. اما متن اصلی جذبه و گیرایی دیگری داره.
