William Shakespeare’s Macbeth is one of the greatest tragedies ever written, a powerful exploration of ambition, guilt, power, and the devastating consequences of unchecked desire. After three mysterious witches predict that Macbeth will become King of Scotland, he is driven by prophecy and encouraged by Lady Macbeth to murder King Duncan and seize the throne.
