The differences that I saw in Macbeth between the movie and the book in scenes 1, 2, and 3 were that in the movie the opening scene was daytime without thunder and lightening where as the book said there was, also in the movie the witches were burying a dead hand holding onto a hand. It doesn’t say this is the book. Other than that, I couldn’t find that many differences. Maybe it’s because I find it difficult to read the book. So to me, watching the movie was much easier for me to understand the story line. Reading the actual book was much more challenging because the wording of it was different, and hard for me to understand what they were really saying. In my preference, I think I would go more for the movie, and that way I get to watch it and understand while looking at visuals to help my understanding.
i think that this is a very good point and that for most people visual learning is much easier. I think that videos are good too but I think that i need something that will hold my attention better and I feel like movies about Shakespeare's plays never tend to hold my attention as well as the books do.
