Review:

At first, this appears to be a detailed website with lots of useful information. However after closer examination you realise that only the first three items on the above Content list are accessible. The rest, (any followed here by a *), cannot be viewed without a Macbeth Pass, a pass which must be bought before gaining full access to this site. That said though, it is still worthwhile paying a visit to this site. It is always useful to read various synopses of the play and the Introduction here gives a brief overview of the play as a whole. Similar to other websites, this is a handy resource for its Plot Summary, which summarises the plot of each scene in turn. I have included this website as a valuable resource though, mostly because it contains a fully searchable Text of the Play. This could be invaluable to pupils and teachers if copies of the text within the school are worn or limited in number. Unfortunately though the other elements of the resource, though they sound interesting, are inaccessible.
