The Scottish Play

I have not even started reading the play. I don't think I'm going to. I think the next up play will be my favorite: Much Ado About Nothing.

The Scottish Play

I just realized that I should have gone for Julius Caesar for March, what with the Ides of March coming up ("Beware the Ides of March").
So yesterday, when I started this post, started watching Macbeth with Sean Connery and I got most of the way through, but I just don't know that I can bring myself to finish it. I had hopes that watching it would help me enjoy Macbeth more, not so. There's a reason that you've probably never heard of this vision; it's black and white and poor quality (I think it may have been made for tv), half the time you can't really see the faces of the actors. A highlight is hearing Connery and his accent monologue, but that doesn't do enough for me to want to finish. There are many good parts and well known quotes from Macbeth though, maybe reading it will be the way to go. Part of my problem is that I just do not enjoy things that are doomed to tragedy and watching things go from bad to worse. I realize this could be a serious set back in working my way through the tragedies...
Anyway I'll try the Patrick Stewart version and see if I like that any better. If not I'll have to just suck it up and read the play.
