"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.
