Macbeth Summary
Have you ever heard of the amazing William Shakespeare play called 'Macbeth'? Well, the setting is in Scotland and the king at that time was King Duncan. Macbeth dreamed to be King of Scotland one day, and
he did all that he can to get what he wanted. This whole thing started off with the three 'weird' witches who were brewing a magic potion that was designed to help fulfill an evil prophecy. While doing that,
 they all sang 'Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn, and caldron bubble,' altogether after each part.
On the other hand, King Duncan of Scotland heared the news that Macbeth and Banquo, his generals, have defeated two different armies in the battle! While they were on their way to meet the king, they saw the witches. The three of them told Macbeth that he will become Thane of Cawdor and that eventually he will one day take King Duncan's spot as the King of Scotland. For Banquo, they said that his descendant
will become King of Scotland, but not Banquo himself. When Duncan's men arrived, as a reward, Macbeth had been made Thane of Cawdor because of his great work in the battle. Macbeth started to believe
the witches after all. One night, King Duncan and Macbeth planned to dine together at Macbeth's castle. As soon as the news got to Lady Macbeth that the king and his sons were coming, she convinced Macbeth
to kill the king so that he will take his spot. He did what she said and he stabbed King Duncan while he was sleeping, also he planned to blame it all on the chamberlains that they also killed. In all this insanity, he remembered that Banquo's descendant would become King of Scotland so he hired someone to kill Banquo and his son, but his son Fleance escaped. During a feast, Macbeth acted crazy in front of the Scottish nobility, and they started to think that he wasn't ready to be King. Macduff, one of the people there, wanted to overthrow Macbeth. Anyways, Macbeth went to visit the witches to know more about what would happen next. They told him that he was incapable of being harmed by any man born of woman, that he would be safe until 'Birnam Wood' would go to Dunsinane Castle, and also to beware of Macduff. While Macduff was busy in England, Macbeth sent people to murder Macduff's wife and children. As a result, Macduff wanted revenge on Macbeth. Meanwhile, Lady Macbeth started to go crazy because of all the guilt she felt, so she killed herself in despair.
The confidence that Macbeth had disappeared when he saw an army, including Macduff and Malcolm, approaching the castle while holding branches from Birnam Wood. During the horrific battle, Macbeth found
out that Macduff wasn't born of woman which made it a lot scarier for him. In conclusion, Macduff beheaded Macbeth and Malcolm became the King of Scotland.
