Macbeth by William Shakespeare
"Macbeth" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy first performed in 1606. When a Scottish general receives a prophecy from three witches that he will become king, his latent ambition awakens. Spurred by his wife, Macbeth commits murder to seize the throne—but his violent path to power unleashes guilt, paranoia, and further bloodshed. As the ambitious couple descends into tyranny and madness, Shakespeare explores the devastating psychological costs of unchecked ambition and political
violence in this dark tale of prophecy and moral corruption. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
