It depends on how much you know. Do you know that it is a play? Then you should know that it will consist almost entirely of dialogue interspersed with extremely brief stage directions. There is unlikely to be a commentary on the action of the play from a narrator (It is not impossible but unlikely). Do you know that it was written by Shakespeare? If so, you will know that it will not refer to anything that happened after 1616, that the people will likely speak in iambic pentameter a lot and will occasionally rhyme, and that their language will be full of metaphors, similes and personifications. The vocabulary is likely to be extensive. It will have five acts. Do you know that it is a tragedy? If so, you will know that the main character is going to end up dead at the end, along with a bunch of other people. Do you know that Macbeth was the name of a historical king of Scotland? If you know that, you might predict that the play will be about him, and that it will have a lot of kings, queens and lords in the cast. The more you know, the more stuff you can predict.
