ABSTRACT
The Tragedy of Macbeth is one of William Shakespeare’s (1892) most haunting plays. Written in the early 1600s, it is the story of how Scottish General Macbeth and his pushy wife, Lady Macbeth, planned and executed the murder of Scotland’s King Duncan so the overly ambitious Macbeth could be King of Scotland. Consumed by the desire for power, Macbeth stabbed the sleeping King to death with daggers, but fearing someone heard the King’s screams, Macbeth took the daggers back to the couple’s sleeping quarters enraging his selsh wife. Furiously, Lady Macbeth demanded that Macbeth return the daggers to lie with the King’s dead body and then smear the blood of their dead King on the cloaks of the sleeping guards.
