Morrow And To Morrow Lady Macbeth
951 wordsThe good characters in Macbeth are less interesting than the evil ones. I agree. Everybody has an evil seed planted in them. Only the really evil person acts on them and commits something morally wrong. Like Macbeth. When Macbeth first received the prophecies, he actually considered them.
