Summary: The Tragedy of Macbeth is a Shakespeare play written between 1599-1606, set primarily in Scotland. It follows Macbeth, a bold Scottish general, as he becomes power-hungry and demented with political ambition. The play is set during the region of James V1, who was a patron of the playwright's acting company. The play follows Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's downward spiral as they struggle with the physical and psychological effects of greed. The source for the story is 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.
