Me gustaría continuar la siguiente frase con la expresión "que ya nos anticipan el tema de la novela" ¿Cuál sería su equivalente en inglés?
The novel's title originated from Macbeth's famous lines: "It is a tale told by an idiot. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" las cuales ya nos anticipan el tema de la novela.
Gracias
