Macbeth reflection


I am unsure if I understand Macbeth honestly. I feel like it's written in too old or weird of a language. It was written in early 1600's and I have found out I am not a fan of anything that was written before the 1800's really. So i already had that mind set of not liking it at the start of all of us reading it. I think the story is pretty gruesome... unnecessary gruesome actually. Shakespeare doesn't need to go into such detail and gruesome, if he didn't I feel like women or more people would read it and watch the play. I don't have too many questions other than the mystery about the three witches, are they good or evil? Their dialogue makes them sound so evil but they haven't really done anything to make them evil. I am just a little confused about that. Macbeth is a different story than most we have read so far, and it isn't too bad... yet.
