Death by sleep
- Reads 33
- Votes 4
- Parts 7
A story based on Shakespeare's "Macbeth", that cursed Scottish play, whose influence in a seemingly harmless English assignment has caused an over ambitious student to go just a 'little' too far in trying to have the "most perfect" essay in the whole class. This story is meant to provide a deep analysis on how sleep and dreaming is presented in the play Macbeth, and what shocking conclusion can be made from the evidence from Shakespeare's other plays.

This is for your reference. I found this glossary at www.shakespearehigh.com. All information that I post on this book will be from www.shakespearehigh.com. Please vote and comment if you are sure there's something wrong. I'm not a pro with Shakespeare so I'm deeply sorry for any inconvenience. Use this glossary to look up unusual words used in Shakespeare's plays. As this is a general glossary, you will want to make sure that the definition fits the context of the line in which the word is used. I think there's still more words, but this is it, so this is what you have. ^_^ PLEASE CHECK TABLE OF CONTENTS!Complete
