Macbeth Act 1 -- First Thoughts

        Before reading the first Act, I know Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's "Tragedies". The other three "Tragedies" are Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear. Macbeth is the shortest tragedy but the darkest one among the four tragedies. It takes place in Scotland. The play mainly talks about how a brave general who called Macbeth becomes a curel killer at last.

        I know it will be a tough reading for me because Shakespeare's plays are really hard to understand. Although, it is a big challenge for me, I will try my best to learn more about the play.

       After reading scene 1 and scene 3 in Act one, Macbeth and Banquo meet three witches, who prophesy that Macbeth shall be Thane of Cawdor, and Banquo's children will secceed him on the throne. Macbeth's ambition is totally showed in the play. It is hard to imagine what is going on next. I cannot wait to read the next scene!
