The Tragedy Of Macbeth

Set in medieval Scotland, The Tragedy of Macbeth explores the nature of the supernatural in our lives. The play begins with Macbeth and Banquo, two army generals in the employ of their king, Duncan, returning victorious from two different wars. As they cross a dark and lonely heath, they encounter three women who predict that Macbeth will be named Thane of Cawdor and one day reign as King of Scotland. Will this prediction be true?
