[CASL-L] Help! Suggestions needed on books

[Loretta Sullivan]

Hello,

We have a request from one of our teachers.  Please see below.  Any ideas?
Greatly appreciated...!  Thanks for any and all input.

"I'm co-teaching *Macbeth* in a sophomore honors class this quarter. We're
mostly reading the play in class, but I'd love to give the students
something to read at home as well.

Ideally, I'd like five or six books (variety of writers, protagonists, etc)
that relate in some way to the theme of power/ambition or that in some
other way have an interesting connection with *Macbeth*.

I've scoured the book room for books that relate that maybe no one teaches
anymore, but haven't found much. I pulled *A Separate Peace, Athletic
Shorts, Othello, *and *Hamlet*. Those are all male protagonists, all
written by white men, etc. *Like Water for Chocolate* crossed my mind (war,
mysticism), as did *Carter Beats the Devil* (power, the supernatural).
​"
