The play was set in a time in which there was Kings that ruled certain areas and many people wanted to be kings. In some cases people wanted to be a king so much that they would eventually kill someone for that title. The play of Macbeth is an example of how someone wants something so bad that they will do anything to get the thing that they want. Some of the things that Macbeth does is not what people would do in today's world but actually happened in that time.

Macbeth is a play about a Scottish general (Macbeth) who receives a prophacy from three witches that states that one day, he wil become the king of Scotland. This makes Macbeth power hungry so he decides to murder the current king of Scotland, Duncan. As people grow more and more suspicious of who killed Duncan, Macbeth is forced to commit more murders in order to protect himself from being exposed. This leads to him becoming filled with paranoia and guilt, which ultimately is his major downfall. Shakespeare wrote this play in 1606 to make people realize that excessive ambition can have terrible consequences. Both the play and the movie incorporate murders into telling the story of Macbeth, but they do so in different ways.
In Act 1 Scene 3, Shakespeare introduces Macbeth. It is noteworthy that Macbeth's first line in this play is "so foul and fair a day I have not seen." His first line is a paradox, which I believe foreshadows his growth as a character, "foul and fair" (19). Also, it is interesting that the witches say the same ominous phrase in act 1 scene 1, as it creates a link between Macbeth and them. There is a shift in Macbeth's character from being a selfless war hero to a greedy man who imagines killing the king in order to secure his position. In addition, the theme of fate is introduced with the witches foretelling Macbeth and Banquo about their future.
In Act 1, scene 5 of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth discovers a letter from her husband, Macbeth, describing his encounter with three witches. The scene starts with Lady Macbeth alone in a dark hallway, with nothing but a letter. She reads the letter from Macbeth about his meeting with the three witches. Lady Macbeth reads about the prophecy the witches have set for Macbeth for him to become king. It becomes apparent that Lady Macbeth feels her husband is too weak and not manly enough to follow through with everything in the witches prophecy; including killing the current king, Duncan.
Written in 1606 by William Shakespeare, the tragic story of Macbeth set in Feudal Scotland, is a play about the scottish nobleman Macbeth who learns from prophecies given to him by witches, that he will become king of Scotland. When Macbeth’s ambition defeats his judgement he kills the reigning king. Macbeth then undermines his own position with anxiety over the murders he has committed. But Macbeths inevitable death allowed the rightful king to take its place and order is restored.

Macbeth is a play about a man who turned from a loyal servant to King Duncan to a tyrant. In the beginning, Macbeth is shown to be fighting the Thane of Cawdor and his army. This gives a slight insight to see how ambitious Macbeth was because he was described as a brave and fearless warrior by Ross and a soldier who fought alongside Macbeth, as well as The Three Witches and Lady Macbeth being characters that influenced Macbeth’s change in character. The Three Witches prophesised and told Macbeth that he would be king. Macbeth believed it and now wanted to fulfill that prophecy, but felt bad about wanting to kill Duncan and Lady Macbeth proceeded to question his manhood and morals, which drove Macbeth to kill Duncan and be king later on.
Macbeth is a dramatic play which tells the story of the downfall of a ‘Nobleman’ who becomes a ‘tyrant’. In Act one Shakespeare introduces the characters Macbeth and Lady Macbeth using a range of dramatic devices.
Macbeth is a play rife with tragedy. Written by William Shakespeare most probably in the year 1606, the play was very loosely based on somewhat true events. The play focuses on Macbeth’s rise to power, and then his subsequent demise shortly thereafter. Macbeth's ambitions were too big, and the choices that he made were the wrong ones. If he had never chosen to kill the King, then he would not have been killed in return. And while prophecies were made that predicted what would happen, Macbeth was the one that set them into motion, and he was the only one responsible for his own death.
Throughout Macbeth, things are never what they appear to be. Macbeth, similar to other works of Shakespeare, is a story of pain and tragedy. At the start, King Duncan has a brave and loyal Thane called Macbeth. After three witches prophesize that Macbeth is destined to become king himself, Macbeth is overwhelmed with ambition and greed. Reinforced by the prophecy and his wife’s encouragement, he takes the throne by murdering King Duncan. Eventually, Macbeth’s paranoia, and guilt lead him to conduct multiple murders to maintain his power. His trust in the witches results in his defeat and overthrow as he is murdered by those he has wronged. In this play Shakespeare uses language, conflict, and the supernatural to illustrate deception and the effects of self-deception.
In the beginning, Macbeth has great trouble with the concept of murder, and he regrets killing Duncan - "Wake Duncan with thoust knocking, I would thou couldst"(II.ii.96)! However, by the end of the play, Macbeth shows no sign of his human qualities. He has in fact become quite inhuman and foul.
