Summary

"Macbeth" by William Shakespeare is a dramatic tale of a Scottish general consumed by ambition and manipulated by dark prophecies into seizing the throne through betrayal and murder. The story follows Macbeth's descent from a valiant warrior to a tyrannical king, driven by his own desires and the goading of his ruthless wife, Lady Macbeth. It explores how their relentless pursuit of power leads to moral decay, paranoia, and ultimately, destruction, as they navigate a world of treachery, supernatural forces, and the heavy consequences of their actions.

About the Author

William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
