From the Back Cover
"Wouldst not play false, And yet wouldst wrongly win."
Macbeth is a feat of dramatic genius compelling, as it does, the audience to sympathize with a cold-blooded murderer.
Encouraged by his ambitious wife and the prophecy of the witches, Macbeth, a noble warrior, slays Duncan the king and seizes the throne for himself. But in so doing, he has upset the natural order and cannot hope to prosper.
This edition of the text contains notes, a glossary and an introduction.
