Here's your guide to online writings on Macbeth, both creative and critical. Essays are arranged alphabetically by title, under the three categories below. To prevent you from going on a wild-goose chase, I've included excerpts for titles which are not explicit of their content. Please give due credit to the authors if you want to incorporate their writings into your class assignments; I don't have to tell you that I do not condone plagiarism.
