Macbeth is the one play that stood apart from me from the rest, for both great and awful reasons. The name “Shakespeare” can be perceived by children and grown-ups the same all throughout the planet. The very first thought when I read Macbeth for my university paper was, "Goodness, this is ideal for Halloween." Macbeth begins with a lightning storm and three very creepy witches.
