Shakespeare's Macbeth, one of the Four Great Tragedies, published in the USA in 1915. Shakespeare's tragedy, Macbeth, is one of his most popular works, often considered his darkest and most powerful tragedy. Set in Scotland, it dramatically explores the corrupting nature of unchecked ambition and the evil that arises from betrayal in the pursuit of power, observed through psychological and political struggles. The play tells the story of the brave Scottish general Macbeth, who receives a prophecy from three witches that he will one day become King of Scotland. Driven by ambition and encouraged by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and crowns himself king. Tormented by guilt and hallucinations, he quickly descends into tyranny, forced to maintain his rule through continuous brutality to suppress hostility and suspicion. The ensuing slaughter and civil war drive Macbeth and his wife to arrogance and madness, culminating in their ultimate downfall.
