  • Summary

  • "Macbeth" is a tragedy by William Shakespeare that tells the story of a Scottish general named Macbeth who receives a prophecy from three witches that he will one day become King of Scotland. Encouraged by his ambitious wife, Lady Macbeth, he is driven to commit regicide to seize the throne.
