Witches, murder, ghosts, and madness — one of Shakespeare’s finest tragedies is also a perfect fit for the graphic novel format. This compelling adaptation depicts every blood-curdling scene in easy-to-follow illustrations, accompanied by Shakespeare’s original text. Each full-color graphic novel features comic book style illustrations throughout, a character list (Dramatis Personae) and information about William Shakespeare and the history of the play. Synopsis: Macbeth is a general (or Thane) in King Duncan’s army who is highly thought of amongst his fellow countrymen.
MACBETH: Each dog may be classified according to the natural gifts that distinguish it from other dogs—and so it is with men. Now, if you belong to the species of men and are not in its bottom ranks, tell me, and I will plant a scheme in you that will rid you of your enemy and bring you closer to me.
As long as this man lives, I am sick–but if he were dead, I would be in the most perfect health.
SECOND MURDERER: My lord, I have been so mistreated by the world, I'll do anything to spite it.
FIRST MURDERER: And I as well. I'm so weary of disaster and bad fortune, I would risk my life on any chance either to mend it or be rid of it.
MACBETH: You both know Banquo was your enemy.
BOTH MURDERERS:It's true, my lord.
MACBETH; And he's mine as well. I bear such bloody hatred toward him that every minute he's alive eats away at my heart. And though I could use my royal power simply to sweep him off the earth,
I cannot, for we have common friends that I cannot alienate. Instead I must wail in public for the man I myself have killed.
And this is why I solicit your help—I must hide my business from the public eye for many reasons.
