Thane of Cawdor, King and murderer

Mariam Hello again. I’m Mariam. Let’s find out more about our story of Macbeth. This brave soldier has somewhat unfairly become King of Scotland. He’d been impressed by the witches’ predictions coming true but now he’s troubled by what they’re telling him…

Macbeth now becomes ruthless, killing people who he thinks are a threat. He goes to the home of a lord called Macduff. He is out but Macbeth kills the rest of his family. Now Macduff is out to seek revenge, and goes to join Malcolm at the court of the English King, Edward. Malcolm and Macduff decide to lead an army against Macbeth.

Meanwhile his wife, Lady Macbeth, can’t stop thinking about the murder of King Duncan - the guilt drives her crazy and she dies but not before giving away her secrets to her doctor. The truth about what Macbeth has done is now out .

Now Macduff organises a large army and sets out on a journey to Macbeth’s castle. There is a long sword fight between the two of them, but finally Macbeth gives out a loud cry and his head is cut off. A gory ending but I suppose, justice has been done.

And that’s the end of this famous Shakespeare play. I’ve left out some of the smaller details but hopefully you understood this rather gruesome tale. I’ll see you again soon for another story. Bye for now.
