How would a one react if witch like people told the person that they would be a future King of some country, even though they were not in the line of genealogy to become one? Well that s what happened in the tragic play of Macbeth by William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare has written many well-known tragedies and comedies throughout his lifetime. One of his well-know tragedies that was written is Macbeth , a story about a tragic hero who met his downfall because of excessive pride. There are many unique characters throughout the play, but the most interesting character is Macbeth. In the play, Macbeth had to overcome and deal within himself, all of the greedy and terrible things that he had done. However, on the outside he did not allow his fear to be known.

Macbeth was loyal to Duncan, the King of Scotland, at the beginning of the play because he was not interested in being King. He did not have the ambition to become King, until he met the weird sisters (witches) that predicted he would be Thane of Cawdor and soon, King of Scotland.
