Macbeth is a play written by English playwright William Shakespeare, written in 1606. Since the 19th century, together with "Hamlet", "Othello" and "King Lear" have been recognized as William Shakespeare's "four tragedies". It was composed by Giuseppe Verdi in Florence in 1847 and has been revised several times since.

The story of Macbeth is loosely based on an ancient story in the Scottish Chronicle by the ancient English historian Raphael Hollingshand. "Macbeth" tells the story of the greed for power of the greedy king and queen, and finally the process of being overthrown. [General Macbeth, the cousin of King Duncan of Scotland, returned from fighting the rebellion and resisting the invasion, and met three witches on the way. The witch told him some prophecies and cryptic words, saying that he would become king, but he had no heir to inherit the throne, but the descendants of his colleague, General Banco, would be king. Macbeth was an ambitious hero who murdered Duncan at the instigation of his wife and became king. In order to hide from the public and prevent others from taking the throne, he killed Duncan's bodyguard step by step, killed Banquo, and killed the wife and children of noble Macduff. Fear and suspicion made Macbeth more and more ghostly and colder. Lady Macbeth died of a mental disorder, and Macbeth was not at all sad. In the case of betrayal and separation, Macbeth faced the siege of Duncan's son and the English reinforcements he invited, and ended up cutting his head.
As soon as Macbeth appeared on the scene, he had different aspirations, murdered the king and usurped the throne, and in order to consolidate the throne, he brutally slaughtered the people, causing the whole country to bleed into rivers, causing chaos to the society and trapping the people in fire and water. It can be said that he was the same tyrant as Richard III. Such tyrants deserve their suffering and ruin.

    The atmosphere creation and the heroine's acting skills are very good, but I have reservations about copying almost unchanged... A bit of a tangle between three stars and four stars

Throne of Blood quotes

  • Taketori Washizu: I am terribly drunk...

  • Old Ghost Woman: [singing] Men are vain and death is long, And pride dies first within the grave, For hair and nails are growing still, When face and fame are gone, Nothing in this world will save, Or measure up man's actions here, Nor in the next - for there is none, This life must end in fear, Only evil may maintain, An afterlife for those who will, Who love this world - who have no son, To whom ambition calls, Even so - this false fame falls, Death will reign - man dies in vain.
