Macbeth is a play made in 1606. It about Macbeth being king by murdering. The play started with Macbeth and Banquo meeting the witches that tell them that Macbeth shall be king. Lady Macbeth knew about that and because of her impatience, she thought about killing the king. Luckily, King Duncan had already said that he is going to Macbeth's castle. So as Lady Macbeth told Macbeth her plan to kill the king. When the mission was completed, Malcolm(king's son) fled to England. Macbeth wanted Banquo dead because he was him when they saw the witches. Banquo was dead but his son Fleance (Banquo's son) managed to escape. Lady Macbeth expected that she could handle the pressure of the murder but she couldn't, so she committed suicide. Now, Macbeth was alone, so he was frightened. He went to the witches for further explanations of what's happening. One of the witches said 'No man born of a woman shall hurt you.' Another witch continued 'But beware, since the trees are moving' Now, Macbeth was satisfied. Macduff (one of Macbeth's men) felt uncomfortable about what's happening so he fled to England to rejoin with Malcolm to make an army to attack Macbeth. Macbeth took his army and when they passed from infront of the forest, Macduff and Malcolm appeared surprisingly with their army. Macbeth said 'Don't waste your time, since no born from a woman can hurt me.' Then Macduff said 'I wasn't born, Iwas taken out by the caesarean section.' Macbeth knew it was the end of his faith so Macduff killed Macbeth and swooshed his head off holding it and said 'This what will happen to you'

The witches never said "Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth". In Act 4, Scene 1, both the First Apparition and the Second Apparition begin their prophecies by calling out, "Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!" Macbeth responds to the First Apparition by thanking it for warning him against the Thane of Fife (Macduff). Macbeth responds to the Second Apparition with: "Had I three ears, I'd hear thee."
