The Tragedie of Macbeth is a winding and whimsical tale that puts into play humanity against heroism, dependence in the midst of deceit, and the mundane under the influence of the magical. The toil and trouble in this story arises not only from the classical Shakespearian fight for a throne, but also in the psychological dramas of his protagonists. The essential story of Macbeth brews and boils in the strengths and frailties of human reactions to relationships and temptation.
