Re: SIX RACOONS IN MY BACK YARD!!! CLIMB MY TREE

I was taking artistic license. Your post is accurate as I read both passages, the wren just this morning. I am reading The Arden Shakespeare which is generally understood to be the most detailed in its scholarship of all the editions. I have six works by Shakespeare from that publisher (Bloomsbury) and six works from the New Cambridge Shakespeare. The Arden has copious footnotes both critical commentary and textual analysis. I recall a footnote even states the wren is relatively small but not the most "diminutive" bird in Scotland as was implied by The Lady... that is the level of detail I refer. I am immersing myself in Macbeth by having read Preface, Foreword, Prologue, Introduction, the play, and once I finish next week I plan to read the initial appendix but not the other appendices which discuss stage directions and further reading references. My next readings will probably cover slightly less material since I am learning the "how to" of reading Shakespeare.

Someday I want to take in a performance at either Shakespeare in the Park or the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. I like this image of the Three Witches ("Weird Sisters") and Macbeth from a renowned Polish Shakespearean company:
