Macbeth
By William Shakespeare
'Is this a dagger that I see before me?' No, just some very good links for Macbeth.
Macbeth Web Links
Part of the Grade Saver network. An excellent site providing act and scene summaries.
A very good site for all things Shakespearean including, of course, Macbeth.
An analysis of the play and its characters. Short but very well written with a downloadable study guide.
Scene summaries. Character reviews. Annotated lists of passages that illustrate aspects of Macbeth's character. Themes and motifs plus a lot more. An excellent site.
Quite a nice, atmospheric little site. Very interactive and good for getting a feel for the play but lacking somewhat on study material.
We hope you find these useful
