Written between 1605 and 1608, after ‘Othello’ and ‘King Lear, ‘ ‘Macbeth’ stages the story of Macbeth who, formerly a vassal of King Duncan of Scotland, devoured by ambition after three witches prophesied him a future as a ruler, together with his wife plans and carries out regicide in order to ascend the throne. Described by scholars as a tragedy of murder, evil, damnation, ambition, and fear, the play is dominated by the figures of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Great in infamy but not monolithic in their cruelty, the two protagonists are victims of contradictions and uncertainties that give them that tragic grandeur in which Shakespeare’s sublime ability to investigate the human soul is manifested.
