Macbeth
Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare around 1606, is a dark tragedy that explores ambition, guilt, and the corrupting influence of power. Set in medieval Scotland, the play follows the rise and fall of Macbeth, a noble warrior who is spurred by a prophecy from three witches and the ruthless ambition of his wife, Lady Macbeth, to murder King Duncan and seize the throne. As Macbeth descends into paranoia and tyranny, haunted by guilt and supernatural omens, his actions unravel a trail of bloodshed and betrayal, leading to his inevitable downfall. Drawing on historical accounts from Holinshed’s Chronicles, Shakespeare crafts a timeless examination of moral decay and the psychological toll of unchecked desire, making Macbeth one of his most intense and enduring works.
