I kind of thought so too, but some people who study shakespeare say that it's
not a significant part of the text and tend to overlook it for the "monastic"
aspect -- go figure. I actually enjoyed that part of it. It was one of the
few witty things in it. Although McBeth is really the only one of
Shakespeare's plays I could really enjoy.
