Macbeth is a powerful Scottish thane (lord), a brave general, and a cousin of King Duncan. But that is not enough for him. When three witches tell Macbeth that he will become king of Scotland, he starts thinking about making the prophecy come true—by killing Duncan. At first, his conscience holds him back, but his wife persuades him to go through with it. He becomes king and quickly learns that gaining power is easier than keeping it. The witches show him visions that make him believe he cannot be defeated, even as he makes more and more enemies… But the visions come true in a way he never expected.
