Thankfully when I reached Year 9 they had Macbeth on as our part of the English GCSE and it is just a much better story of ambition, betrayal and the horrors men will do to achieve their goals in life.
And the madness that comes with committing evil to achieve your goals. Banquo reaching for the crown. Lady Macbeth throwing herself from the tower unable to wash clean that last spot of blood. Macbeth becoming a complete tyrant.
