Why did Shakespeare make mmacbeth a villen?
I assume you meant "Why did Shakespeare make Macbeth a villan?" Well, what could the storyline have been if he wasn't a villan? Shakespeare's Macbeth was based on the real Macbeth. He murdered his king, Duncan, and became king. I guess that means that the real Macbeth was a villan, and so Shakespeare only kept it that way, showing it wasn't Shakespeare that made his character of Macbeth a villan.

Who knew about the prophecies besides lady Macbeth?
In Shakespeare's play "Macbeth," the three witches are the ones who make the prophecies about Macbeth becoming king.

Ultimately, Macbeth's actions are driven by his desire to fulfill the prophecies and maintain his position as king.
Is Macbeth a drama?
It is a Shakespeare play. ---- There is strong - nearly conclusive - evidence that Shakespeare collaborated with Thomas Middleton in writing Macbeth. Perhaps Middleton collaborated with Shakespeare in writing the play, or perhaps he substantially revised it several years after it was first performed; but it seems certain that Middleton wrote the witches' songs, possibly the porter scene, and perhaps as much as 10% of the entire play. Macbeth is not the only play where we have evidence of Shakespeare sharing the authorship with another writer. Pericles and Henry VI.1 are two other plays where it is highly likely that not every scene is by Shakespeare. Collaborative authorship was not uncommon in the Elizabethan theatre - there are also plays by other dramatists where Shakespeare may have had a hand (Thomas More is one). And Middleton was very, very good: he seems to have taken over the role of chief playwright with the Kings Men (Shakespeare's company) when Bill retired. Middleton also seems to have done some work on Measure for Measure and Timon of Athens. But the bulk of these plays is Shakespeare's, so really they are Shakespearean plays.

How does Shakespeare show Macbeth?
There is a sort of conflict in Lady Macbeth's mind between what she wants to do (i.e. kill Duncan) and what she suspects rightly Macbeth will want to do (i.e. not kill Duncan). She therefore sets about persuading him to let her plan the murder, so she can overcome the objections she knows he will make.
How did William write Macbeth?
We have to speculate about this, because Shakespeare left no diary or other evidence of how he worked. We know that he got his story from Holinshed's Chronicles. He probably read the story of King Macbeth in Holinshed, and thought it had possibilities as a play. He then sat down, in the spare hours he had when not performing, or rehearsing new plays, or meeting with his business partners, or visiting his family and wrote the play out with a quill pen and paper. We don't know how long it took him. We do know that at some point another playwright added some scenes to it, possibly to make it cuter or funnier or more of a musical.
