Honey, iAm home!

I'm back from BC, Canada. The jet-lag is infuriating!

But let's not go into my personal life.... it's boring. iWould rather talk about my latest read.

It's depressing, it's Shakespeare and it's made easy. Any guesses? I suppose the picture's a dead giveaway.

Macbeth!

I'll be honest about my attitude towards Shakespeare. I don't read him much. The only play of his I've truly enjoyed was Twelfth Night because it was amusing. An old age romance comedy, if you will. Romeo & Juliet was tolerable. And now Macbeth. Having spent some of my younger years watching a Gargoyles cartoon where Macbeth was arguably one of my favourite villians, it was interesting to see him in his original form. It also damprened the experience. iWould have enjoyed this one more if it I wasn't so fond of the bloody cartoon character!

Lady Macbeth is pure evil and her relationship with her husband would make for some interesting analysis if one were up to it. What iFound most interesting however, was the mythical aspect. Double, double toil and trouble? The mysterious glimpses of bloody daggers and ghosts? It made the plot more delicious and I can see why an audience would enjoy its on-stage version.

Ah, well. I'll cut this post short. The Hobbit is next on my reading list. I read the first few pages and knew instinctively that I'm going to enjoy reading it. Has that ever happened to you?

Write you later. Go read something.
