MACBETH
This tragedy was written by Shakespeare and it is set in Scotland. It is divided into four acts. In the first act Macbeth and Banquo won a battle against rebellious people. On the home way they met three witches who made Macbeth a prediction: he would become "Thane of Cawdor" and "King of Scotland". After the witches had vanished, the first prophecy immediately become real. The King was attended at the castle and Lady Macbeth encouraged her husband to kill the King and during the night the plan was realized.
In the second act Malcom, Duncan's son, was accused for the murder, so he went to England. Now he is King of Scotland and Macbeth's wife told him to kill Banquo and his son. Fleazio, Banquo's son, went on.
In the third act Macbeth went to the witches to ask them again and they told him that he would be King of Scotland until the Birman forest move against him. Lady Macbeth invited her husband to kill Macduff's wife and sons: she thought they were organized a group to move against she and her husband.
In the last act Malcom and Macduff lead the army in the Birman forest. They mimicked themselves with the branches. It seemed that the forest was bigger! Lady Macbeth died during the night for remorse. Macbeth was alone and he died in the battle against that army and he was killed by Macduff.
