Is Macbeth really considered horror?

>> No.12928752

I dont think any of those plays are pure horror but there’s definitely supernatural elements to Macbeth. (Witches, ghosts and cannibal horses) but ultimately it’s a tragedy about ambition

with the right direction and staging, Macbeth can be quite atmospheric
