Macbeth by William Shakespeare
"Macbeth" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy first performed in 1606. When a Scottish general receives a prophecy from three witches that he will become king, his ambition awakens. Spurred by his wife, Macbeth murders the rightful king and seizes the throne. But guilt and paranoia consume him, driving him to commit more murders to protect his power. The play explores how unchecked ambition and the violent pursuit of power corrupt the
soul and lead to destruction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
