Shakespeare Reflection

Shakespeare's language is definitely hard for me to understand. The old language he uses in his plays and all the metaphors and similis he uses to describe what's going on in the play is just kind of hard for me to understand. I can't really keep up with what's going on in the story and I usually have to look it up on the internet or ask classmates to figure out what's going on. In Macbeth it was kind of the same way. It was hard for me to figure out what was going on in the story.. It's actually kind of good though to start reading these kinds of things for college, but personally I don't like reading it. In Macbeth, it didn't really seem interesting until the end, when they battled to kill Macbeth after finding out he was the bad guy. I really liked the idea they had on how to attach Macbeths castle by having each of the men carry a branch from the forest and move closer and closer to the castle, little by little. This seemed to be the only part that I really understood. Other then that Macbeth, to me, was pretty boring and hard to understand.
