First of all, this is my
absolute favorite Shakespeare play. I love the plot and how the characters are
portrayed in the play. I would describe my overall experience reading the play
as walking in a misty, dark forest. The witches give off a mysterious, eerie
feeling. Then Lady Macbeth feels like thorns in the bushes. Macbeth is like a
beast lurking in the dark. Macduff is like the hunter while King Duncan and
Banquo feel like preys. Plays are so different from novels because they can
easily bring the audience into the mood and rhythm of the plays. I’ve
personally participated in this play in drama class before and I can really sense
how the atmosphere of the play is emphasized. The whole play has a dark tone to
set up for the treacherous events throughout the play, which helps the audience
to get in the mood.
