King Duncan's closest generals, Macbeth and Banquo, have just defeated two invading armies and the Irish rebel Macdonwald. Out across the misty moor, they encounter three witches who reveal to Macbeth a powerful prophecy: "All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, thane of Glamis! All hail, Macbeth, hail to thee, thane of Cawdor! All hail, Macbeth, thou shalt be king hereafter!" They not only claim that Macbeth will eventually become King of Scotland, but that Banquo will father a line of Scottish kings-though ominously, Banquo will never be king himself.This shocking tragedy-a violent caution to those seeking power for its own sake-is, to this day, one of Shakespeare's most popular and influential masterpieces.This Standard Ebooks edition is based on William George Clark and William Aldis Wright's 1887 Victoria edition, which is taken from the Globe edition.Perfect for readers who crave dark psychological drama and timeless tales of ambition gone wrong, this masterpiece delivers Shakespeare's most intense exploration of guilt, power, and supernatural forces. With its haunting witches, blood-soaked betrayals, and unforgettable "Out, damned spot!" soliloquies, Macbeth remains as gripping and relevant today as it was four centuries ago.
