I was in English class in high school. We were doing a class reading of MacBeth. Nobody wanted to do it, so everyone tried to pick the part with the fewest lines from the list. The teacher had forgotten to list the second guard whose only line was, "What, you egg." I sped read the play and saw that part. Went to the teacher and told him he had left out a character. He said if I wanted it, I could write it down. He didn't ask me which character it was. It was a three day class event. When it came time, I read my line and the class just stopped in protest because I only had one line. The teacher said that it was obvious that I had read the entire play to find that character and that I was entitled to do homework, sleep, or whatever I wanted for the next day and a half. Lol

Admirable!
Reading more than two pages of Macbeth, that is. That's truly admirable.

I remember going to the theaters to watch the movie from 2015... Fell asleep within 5 minutes and didn't wake up until credits roll.
Good story.

It is better seen on stage than read in a book.

The teacher left the class for a moment during first period just after informing us we were having a test. I quickly told everyone to play along with me. I said that when the teacher comes in, everybody give a low humming noise, but when she got close to you, you stop making the noise. The teacher came in and heard this humming noise and asked what it was. I said, "I think one of the ballasts in the lights is giving out. They make that noise sometimes. They can get hot and cause a fire when they go bad." She started wandering all over the room, but when she got near someone, the noise there stopped and sounded like it was coming from somewhere else. She turned the lights off, and everyone stopped. She turned them back on, and everyone started humming again. She did this for forty minutes. Finally, she went to get the maintenance man. Before they got back, I told everyone to not make the noise until I signaled them. The maintenance guy came in, tried the lights several times and said he didn't hear anything, but let him know if she heard it again. A minute later, it "started" again. We took our test the next day.

Really? I quite enjoyed the readings in high school :D
MacBeth, Hamlet, Wuthering Heights... they were all pretty interesting once you got past the dialect! I guess everyone has their own tastes, though.

Yeah, it is a play after all.
It's a shame though; because my opinion on this play is pretty much based on the 2015 movie, which utterly failed in captivating me.

I remember really liking the movie based on Othello. It had the guy who played Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as Iago. He was a great fit for the character! :p (edit: Kenneth Branagh is his name!)

I also "killed" someone at school one day... in front of the whole class. It was epic. Of course, I never got caught.

Ah! I've heard that one was good, but I never got the chance to read it at my school. Not even the library had it :(

They had lots of cool other books, but not many classics (like those written by Shakespeare, Emily Bronte, etc.)

Oh no; my problem is with Macbeth, not literature or theater plays in general.
My opinion on it is based off of 5 minutes of the movie and 1.5 pages of a pdf file though, so you can go ahead and say something like "But how can you know it's boring if you didn't even read/watch it?".
I just find my brief experiences with Macbeth boring.

There were some literature books from high school I enjoyed though. Few, but there were.

E: It's way harder to enjoy something when you're supposed to analyze every bit of information and remember it for a school test, gotta say.

In English class again one day, up on the second floor. Let me set the table for this a bit. We had full height windows that could be opened on a center pivot. You could actually go out of the building through one, and there was a small ledge on the outside that stuck out several inches.

The scene: The door to the classroom bursts open and a student comes running through the class, looking over his shoulder in such a manner that the teacher cannot see who it is as the student is looking back towards the door. He is screaming, "Don't let them get me! Don't let them get me!" and promptly jumps out of the window. The horrified teacher gets up and runs over to the window and sees the student laying face down on the grass down below and he is in a contorted configuration. The teacher freaks out and runs down to the main office downstairs, and the main office empties out. The whole class is looking out of the window by this time. The office personnel shortly show up down below and there is no fallen student there. The group comes up to the classroom and asks what happened to the student. We all say, "What student?"

What the teacher and office personnel didn't see. When the student jumped out of the window, there was about 10 football players down below who caught the student in a large blanket and rolled him out onto the grass. They then hid against the building flat against the wall and were hidden by the ledge. After the teacher left the class, I shouted down below to get out of there. Everyone left. I told the class to say that nobody saw anything. It was a hoot. The teacher knew he had been had, but couldn't prove a thing. lol
