Rereading Macbeth for class was so refreshing and it was a great reminder of how much I love this play. I think it is very clever, very haunting, heart-wrenching and overall fascinating.

It deals with murder and the desire to possess power on one hand, but on the other hand, I think it's a beautiful, yet raw exploration of human nature. Even though it has this fairytale feeling, with the knights, the castles and the witches, deep down it's much darker and not because of its supernatural elements, but because of the extremes people are willing to go through to get what they want, or what they've been told that they want.

Lady Macbeth is one of my favourite characters of this play, her dominion over her husband, her thirst for more and her ruthlessness are such intriguing aspects of her character. I think there's a lot to be unpacked regarding her, she could be easily ruled out as the "villain" of the story, but there's so much more to her than meets the eye.

One of my favourite scenes has to be the moment Macbeth realizes that Macduff is his impending demise, learning that he wasn't "naturally" born. I feel like I would have loved to be able to witness this fight between them, to see Macbeth's face as realization sunk in and see him decide that he might be going down, but he's at least going down fighting.

All in all, this play has everything you need to have an amazing time, the stakes are constantly high and the twists are coming whenever you least expect it!
