I read this in my Shakespeare class in undergrad and just reread it for a reading challenge. What struck me most this time is how many turns of phrase in this work are well known and used in songs, book titles, etc. I know this is true for a lot of Shakespeare but I think it is especially true for this one. Witches, murder, ambition, not a weak female character in the whole thing. All around iconic.
