Our library has TC's Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies. I'd like to use lectures #34-36 as they cover Macbeth, and we're getting ready to study Macbeth. Has anybody used these? Did you watch them before or after reading Macbeth? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Cathie

Has no one used these at all? Really could use some advice here.

I can't remember exactly, but I will attempt to tell you what we did. First, look at the course ntroduction, so we listened first to that. After that, we would read the play first, then the lecture that went with it. Some of the lectures, talk about certain scenes. We would read the play, listen to the lecture, then read the scene again. The very first lectures discuss Shakespeare in general, so do those first.
