ENTRY OF WITCHES
While Macbeth & Banquo were
returning from their victory they

strange-looking old womens; Three
Witches.
The witches were simply predicting
the future of Macbeth.
And the predictions were;
Macbeth would become the Thane
of Cawdor.
Macbeth would become the king.
The sons of Banquo would become
kings.









GREATER CULPRIT; LADY MACBETH
After hearing the
predictions of witches
Lady Macbeth was eagerly
waiting for Macbeth.
When Macbeth came back
to the castle, it was Lady
Macbeth who persuaded
Macbeth to murder
Duncan.

MURDER OF DUNCAN
King Duncan arrived at
Macbeths castle
accompanied by his two
sons, to honour Macbeth
for his victory.
Although Macbeth was
not ready to kill Duncan,
Lady Macbeth succeeded
in preparing him for the
cold-blooded murder of
Duncan.
The murder of King Duncan was
soon forgotten, and Macbeth
&his wife were crowned King &
Queen of Scotland. Thus the
witches prophecy had come
true.
As Macbeth found that he
could not trust any one even
his old friend, Banquo, he
decided to hold a royal banquet
to carry out his plans for
murdering Banquo.
After killing Banquo, Macbeth was troubled by
the ghost of Banquo. He believed the witches
could predict more about his future. So he
decided to meet the witches again. And the
predictions were;
Macbeth was asked to beware of Macduff.
Macbeth was assured that no man born of
woman could kill him.
Macbeth would never be beaten in battle until
Birnam Wood moved to Dunsinane Castle.
DEATH OF LADY MACBETH
Lady Macbeth had started
showing the signs of
sleeplessness born out of sense
of remorse &sting of guilt .
Lady Macbeth was left alone
with her gloomy thoughts.
At last, unable to bear the
burden of her guilt anymore,
Lady Macbeth died.
END OF MACBETH
One of the messenger
suddenly appeared before
Macbeth and said that as
he was keeping watch on
the top of a hill, when to
his amazement he saw
Bernam Wood beginning
to move towards
Dunsinane.
Then Macbeth understood
that his end was near.

A fierce fight followed with
Macbeth & Macduff.
Finally Macduff overcame
Macbeth.
Macbeth who had caused
so much terror, was dead
at last.
Macduff cut off Macbeths
head and presented it to
young Malcom who was
the lawful heir to the
throne of Scotland.
Malcom was crowned as
King of Scotland.
