Macbeth by Shakespeare, William (Collins)

‘Stars, hide your fires!
Let not light see my black and deep desires.’

One of Shakespeare’s darkest and most violent tragedies, Macbeth’s struggle between his own ambition and his loyalty to the King is dramatically compelling. As those he kills return to haunt him, Macbeth is plagued by the prophecy of three sinister witches and the power hungry desires of his wife.
