Vaulting ambition and unquestioning love lead Macbeth down a path of self-destruction. The noble soldier is tempted by a witches’ prediction, pushed his wife’s greed and doomed his own ego. — Bonnie Winchester
MacBeth knows the difference between good and evil, but the witches' promises are so tempting, and his wife goads him along, and when the blood starts flowing it doesn't stop. When the witches are joined by ghosts, sleepwalkers, and trees moving of their own accord, MacBeth sinks deeper and deeper, until life becomes a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Key characters: MacBeth, Lady MacBeth, the witches — Mike Hare
