Makbeto

by William Shakespeare

Translated by D. H. Lambert

"Makbeto" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy first performed in 1606. When a Scottish general receives a prophecy that he will become king, his ambition and his wife's urging lead him to murder. What follows is a descent into paranoia and tyranny as he commits more killings to secure his power. The violent pursuit of ambition drives both husband and wife toward guilt, madness, and ultimate destruction in this dark exploration of power's corrupting force.
