Macbeth

Macbeth is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. It is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy. It dramatizes noxious effects of political ambition. In the play, Macbeth is a Scottish general who has been fighting for King Duncan. Three witches tell Macbeth that he will become King of Scotland. Macbeth is spurred by his ambition and his wife, and he murders King Duncan then accedes to the throne. He is wracked with guilt and paranoia. His reign is bloody and tyrannical and ended by the combined forces of Scotland and England. Shakespeare's main source for the story was Holinshed's Chronicles, particularly its accounts of Macbeth, Macduff and Duncan. But events in the play differ extensively from events involving the historical Macbeth. Events in Shakespeare's play are usually associated with Henry Garnet and the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. In theatre, the play has been associated with a curse. People have avoided speaking its title, calling it "The Scottish Play". But the play has attracted some of the most renowned actors to the leading roles, and has been adapted for multifarious other media.
