See all formats and editions

The tale of Macbeth centers around a tragedy and is regarded as one of Shakespeare's darkest and most dramatic works.

The drama, which is set in Scotland, depicts the harmful physical and psychological ramifications of political ambition on individuals who desire power for its own reason.

When a trio of witches prophecy that Macbeth would one day become King of Scotland, the Scottish general is enslaved by his devotion. He succumbs to Lady Macbeth's evil ambitions, stabs King Duncan in his sleep, and seizes the throne, blinded by the desire for power. But Macbeth is quickly tortured with remorse and horror. What will he do to avoid the repercussions of his crime?

William Shakespeare's Macbeth discloses how evil can rule over a man's goodness.
