When Macbeth murders King Duncan
Malcolm and Donalbain
King Duncan had two sons: Malcolm and Donalbain. After fleeing Duncan's murder, Donalbain fled to Ireland, and Malcolm fled to England. Malcolm later led the attack on Dunsinane and took the throne after Macbeth was killed.
For an accurate translation, it would be best to use it in a sentence.
If you are talking about his 1936 production for the Federal Theatre Project, the big giveaway was the palm trees on the backdrop and the nineteenth-century costumes, as well as the inclusion of other voodoo elements which gave that production the nickname "The Voodoo Macbeth" (only a few minutes of this production were filmed, but you can find it online). If you are talking about Welles's 1948 film, everything, and especially the Scottish accents assumed by Welles and Jeannette Nolan, tells us that the setting of the play has not been changed at all, but was intended to be Scotland.
Welles's version had a Haitian voodoo element that was not in the original.
Macbeth persuades the murderers to kill Banquo and his son
A tragedy is a play where things end badly for the main character or characters. We don't feel this to be tragic unless we like the main character or characters in some way and feel sorry for them. Shakespeare's play Timon of Athens is supposed to be a tragedy but yet is one of Shakespeare's least successful plays because the character is so unlikeable we cannot feel sorry for him when disaster overtakes him. Shakespeare also wrote characters to whom bad things happen into his comedies, such as Malvolio in Twelfth Night. What happens to Malvolio is bad but not that bad and we don't feel sorry for him because he has a bad characteristic, a flaw, of being stuck up and arrogant, which makes him hard to like. Timon and Malvolio are not tragic because although bad things happen to them, we rather think they deserve it and don't feel sorry for them. Macbeth, we feel, deserves what he gets (killing children is the ultimate crime), but we still feel sorry for him because at the start, he was a war hero and an honourable man. We know that, left to his own devices, he would never have killed Duncan, and it was that one act which changed him from a likeable hero into a monster. It's an act he regrets almost immediately ("Wake Duncan with thy knocking! I would thou couldst!") but which he can never undo.
