Summary: "Μάκβεθ" by William Shakespeare is a classic tragedy written in the early 17th century. The play delves into themes of ambition, power, and guilt, revolving around the main character, Macbeth, a Scottish nobleman whose encounter with three witches ignites his lust for power and sets him on a dark and treacherous path. The manipulative forces around him, particularly Lady Macbeth, further complicate his journey as he grapples with moral dilemmas and the consequences of his actions. The opening of "Μάκβεθ" introduces readers to an eerie setting marked by stormy weather and the presence of three witches, who foretell Macbeth's rise to power. As Macbeth and his companion Banquo encounter these supernatural beings, they are delivered prophecies that predict Macbeth will become the Thane of Cawdor and subsequently king, sparking his ambition. The scene swiftly transitions to a military camp, where King Duncan receives news of Macbeth's valor in battle, further establishing the groundwork for the ensuing conflict between ambition and morality. This provocative start sets the tone for the unfolding tragedy that explores the corrosive effects of unchecked ambition and the psychological toll of wrongdoing.
