I've read both - and still haven't fully understood Hamlet. Macbeth is a touch easier to understand, but is confusing. Seeing the film made it a little easier to fathom out.

Shakespeare was a wonderful playright, no doubts of that, but I'm afraid that when it came to history his 'Scottish play' just took dramatic licence too far.
Macbeth it would appear, was such a good king that he not only managed to have peace (a rare thing) throughout the country for a fair number of years, but was so secure in his throne, that he managed to travel to Rome on a diplomatic mission and visited the Pope. This a good many years before Catholicism reached Scotland. Hardly the haunted and insecure picture painted by the said William.
As for Hamlet, I prefer the cigars!
