Summary: "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written in the early 17th century. The play explores themes of ambition, power, guilt, and fate through the story of Macbeth, a Scottish general whose desire for power leads him down a dark path of murder and madness, influenced by prophecies and his ruthless wife, Lady Macbeth. The beginning of "Macbeth" introduces us to the ominous presence of the three witches who foretell Macbeth's rise to power. Following this, we see Macbeth and Banquo, his friend, return victorious from battle, where Duncan, the King of Scotland, expresses gratitude and admiration for Macbeth’s bravery. As the narrative unfolds, we witness Duncan’s decision to reward Macbeth with the title of Thane of Cawdor, fulfilling part of the witches' prophecy. Meanwhile, Macbeth is disturbed by the thought of becoming king and is tempted by ambition, while Lady Macbeth receives news of his promotion and begins to plot his ascent to the throne, setting the stage for the tragic events that will follow.
