The Story
Macbeth, driven by a prophecy and his wife's relentless ambition, embarks on a dark journey that leads him to murder and madness. As he grasps the throne, he becomes ensnared by guilt and paranoia, resulting in a tragic spiral of destruction that affects all around him. The play masterfully explores themes of ambition, fate, and the moral consequences of one's actions, making it a timeless reflection on human nature.
