be patient, friend
if you keep working at it and try your very best, the texts you want to understand will become clearer and clearer
you just gotta believe in yourself :o)
You should read Taming of the Shrew or A Midsummer Night's Dream, those have easier language.
Macbeth is also very simple.
You could actually watch the new Macbeth movie and get about the same out of it as the play, which is also very short and violent.
