book The Education of Margot Sanchez by Lilliam Rivera reminds me of a telenovela (a spanish soap opera). It has a bunch of twist and turns and is an entertaining read.

Lady Macbeth is undoubtedly a very influential character throughout the play and this is one of the main reasons why she is such a vital part in the story. At the start of the play the reader has the impression of Lady Macbeth as a threatening character however in the second half of the play we can see the once influential character lose her grip with not only Macbeth but with her life in general resulting in her tragic death.
