The play starts off in Scotland. There are three witches whom are designing a magic potion to help a very evil prophecy. Just recently, Macbeth and Banquo have defeated two armies in battle. King Duncan just found out by his generals about the news. While Banquo and Macbeth were on their way to meet King Duncan, they suddenly encounter three odd witches. They tell him that Macbeth will become king of Scotland, but for that to happen, Banquo must be descended. At first Macbeth did not believe them until King Duncan's
men arrived to tell him that he has a reward for his braveness during battle. Then, Macbeth and King Duncan plan a dining together at Macbeth's castle. When Macbeth arrives home, Lady Macbeth convinces Macbeth to kill King Duncan and have the throne to him to fulfill the prophecy. Macbeth and his wife get King Duncan's chamberlains' entirely drunk, so that when King Duncan falls asleep, he can stab him. The next morning, Macbeth killed King Duncan's chamberlains' to make the people think that he is angry of his death. Suddenly, Macbeth remembers what the witches said. So then Macbeth sends someone to kill
Banquo and his son feleance. Macbeth went to visit the three witches increasingly insane. The witches said that he must beware of Macduff, he is not capable of being harmed if any men are "born of a women" and he will be safe until "Birman wood arrives to Dunsinane Castle". After the witches spoke to him, he was still concerned about Macduff. Macbeth suddenly finds out that Macduff has gone to England to plan an attack on Macbeth. Then he immediately orders Macduffs castle to be seized at once, including the killing of his children and wife. Later on, Lady Macbeth has become extremely guilty because of King Duncan's murder. Then she kills herself instantly. When Macbeth find out about her death, he becomes very sad but he is still confident that he has nothing to fear. Macbeth and Macduff encounter each other on the battle field. While they fought Macduff tells Macbeth that, he wasnot born of a woman. Then in an instant Macduff beheads Macbeth. Now Malcom is the king of Scotland and the witches' prophecy are
fulfilled.
