When J. R. R. Tolkien read Macbeth in school, he felt “bitter disappointment and disgust” over what
he considered Shakespeare’s “shabby use” of the moving forest, which actually never came alive but was revealed to be a trick. Later in life, Tolkien made a point of writing a story where the trees actually came alive. The creatures came to be known as Ents in the Lord of the Rings.
