I´m going in ... and I´m a bit scared.

 

It´s my first valiant attempt at reading Shakespeare in English and BrokenTune and Themis encouraged me to listen to the Arkangel Shakespeare production alongside reading the actual play.

 

I already listened to the first four scenes of the first act and it´s so good. The language isn´t quite as difficult as I expected it to be. 

 

My favorite scene so far is the one in which Macbeth and Banquo are meeting the three (bearded) witches on the heath and they don´t seem to be overly concerned or puzzled by the fact that three weird crones all of a sudden appear in the country side, making predictions about the future.

 

I´m already thinking about where to go next with Shakespeare. Themis, didn´t you recommend me one of Shakespeare´s comedies? Was it As You Like It or another one?
