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.

They say that no assassination, no rebellion, no betrayal, simply no one can beat Macbeth, before Birnam Forest hits Dunsinane Castle.
Can you believe in a forest that attacks? Who would expect such from trees or bushes?

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