Macbeth
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Macbeth is a tragedy play by William Shakespeare.
In the play, Macbeth kills Duncan, the King of Scotland, with the help of Macbeth's wife. Witches play a part in the play by foretelling that Macbeth will become king, but that Macbeth's friend Banquo will have sons who become kings. After he kills Duncan, Macbeth becomes king and tries to kill everyone who might want to take the throne away from him. The ghost of one of the men he kills haunts him. Because killing the king was wrong, Macbeth's wife dies and Macbeth is overthrown. Duncan's son Malcolm then becomes King of Scotland. The play has 5 acts.
