Summary: "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written in the early 17th century. The play explores themes of ambition, moral corruption, and the supernatural, focusing on the ascent and downfall of its protagonist, Macbeth, a Scottish nobleman influenced by prophecy and his ambitious wife, Lady Macbeth. The opening of "Macbeth" introduces a dark and foreboding atmosphere with the appearance of three witches who foreshadow Macbeth's rise to power. As the narrative unfolds, we learn that Duncan, the king of Scotland, is facing rebellion and that Macbeth has just displayed valor on the battlefield. The witches greet Macbeth with prophecies that he will become Thane of Cawdor and eventually the king, igniting his ambition. Meanwhile, Lady Macbeth becomes aware of these prophecies and encourages Macbeth to seize the crown by any means necessary, setting the stage for the tragic events that follow. The mood is tense and filled with ominous predictions, establishing a compelling groundwork for the themes of fate and free will that will permeate the play.
