Macbeth is Shakespeare's most brutal tragedy. The story of a brave Scottish general, who is prophesized as the future king of Scotland, Macbeth studies the corruption of the human soul. Influenced by his wife, Lady Macbeth, the general kills the reigning King and steals the throne. He becomes a tyrant and must continue to murder to protect his position. The massacre leads to madness and death.

Macbeth was written in 1606 during the reign of James I. James' close bond with Shakespeare is reflected in Macbeth, which paid reverence to the Scottish King.
