William Shakespeare's Macbeth (full title The Tragedie of Macbeth) is a tragedy. It is said to have been done for the first time in 1606. It depicts the harmful physical and psychological ramifications of political ambition on individuals who want power just for the sake of it. The playwright's connection with his king is most vividly shown in Macbeth, which was written during the reign of James I, who was a sponsor of Shakespeare's acting company. Shakespeare's shortest tragedy was originally published in the Folio of 1623, perhaps from a prompt book.

A trio of witches prophesy to a courageous Scottish commander named Macbeth that he would one day become King of Scotland. Macbeth, consumed by ambition and prodded into action by his wife, assassinates King Duncan and usurps the Scottish throne. He suffers from guilt and paranoia as a result. To shield himself from animosity and suspicion, he is forced to execute more and more murders, and he quickly becomes a despotic tyrant. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth quickly descend into madness and death as a result of the slaughter and subsequent civil war.

The account of Macbeth, King of Scotland, Macduff, and Duncan in Holinshed's Chronicles (1587), a history of England, Scotland, and Ireland familiar to Shakespeare and his contemporaries, is Shakespeare's source for the storey, though the events in the play differ significantly from the real Macbeth's history.
