William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Macbeth is the tale of a Scottish General who receives a prophecy from three witches stating that he will one day be King of Scotland. But in order to be King, blood must be spilled. Macbeth and his wife murder King Duncan so Macbeth can ascend to the throne. But the cost of their ambition is tyranny leading to civil war, a descent into madness and ultimately death.
