Macbeth..."I just don't get it"

If this is your reaction to Macbeth, then have no fear! I am here to help. Use Sparknotes No Fear Literature to help you! You can simply read the translation for each scene you are confused on to find the answer to the study guide questions. Also, if you post a comment of the question you cannot find, perhaps one of your fellow classmates will post the answer. Oh and I will add a point to the grade for the study guide for each question asked or answer given. Remember to give your name, as there is no Anonymous on any of my rosters.

One more thing, your extra points will max out at five!
