Description
In this classic tale by William Shakespeare, a brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia.
Manga Classics proudly introduces this brilliant adaptation of William Shakespeare's incredible tragedy. As it is with our previous releases of Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth is a faithful adaptation containing the entire text of the original play. All Manga Classic titles are produced with lesson plans, teaching guides and leveling for use in the classroom. With each and every Manga Classic, it is our passion and hope that we help the reader connect with the story in a meaningful way. We also feel this is an exciting way to introduce these classic stories to a new reader who may then go back to read the original texts. We hope you enjoy our work.
