Macbeth

written by Shakespeare between 1603 and 1606
It is the story of a murderer and usurper.
The play examines the possibilities of evil and centers on the villain-hero.
Macbeth is the story of the temptation of a good man by witches.
Shakespeare decided to show the steps by which a noble man is made to his damnation, to depict a man lured by evil. The more evil Macbeth is, the more isolated he becomes.
Shakespeare could not show a devil at the time of the Renaissance (for it was considered as ridiculous at that time)
