Should Macbeth be taught in school? Need three reasons why!

I need three STRONG reasons to support the teaching of Macbeth in high school! I have some inital ideas:

Macbeth SHOULD be taught because it:
1. is good study of character and their flaws
2. teaches important and timeless themes
3. effective use of literary devices (eg. paradox, irony, imagery)

Any contribution greatly appreciated. ThankS!!!!
