The Summary of Macbeth
This drama is one of the
great tragedy themed plays by William Shakespeare. The themes
illustrated in the play include ambition, fate, deception and treachery.
Three witches decide to confront the great Scottish general
Macbeth on his victorious return from a war between Scotland and Norway.
The Scottish king, Duncan, decides that he will confer the title of the
traitorous Cawdor on the heroic Macbeth. Macbeth, and another General
called Banquo, happen upon the three witches. The witches predict that
he will one day become king. He decides that he will murder Duncan.
Macbeth's wife agrees to his plan. He then murders Duncan assisted by
his wife who smears the blood of Duncan on the daggers of the sleeping
guards. A nobleman called Macduff discovers the body. Macbeth kills the
guards insisting that their daggers smeared with Duncan's blood are
proof that they committed the murder. The crown passes to Macbeth. More
murders ensue and the bloodied ghost of Banquo appears to Macbeth. Lady
Macbeth's conscience now begins to torture her and she imagines that she
can see her hands covered with blood. She commits suicide. Macduff kills
Macbeth and becomes king.
