Enigma Of The Unusual Forest In Disguise
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - Shakespeare's "Macbeth" portrays a seemingly honest and courageous man loyal to the king but consumed by power.

Shakespeare’s wandering forest in Macbeth is just one example of forests with prophetic messages, often foretelling death.
