Macbeth

 Macbeth, fully The Tragedy of Macbeth, is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. It was probably first performed in 1606. It was first published in the Folio of 1623, possibly from a prompt book, and is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy. Macbeth is a Scottish general who has been fighting for King Duncan. Three witches tell Macbeth that he will become king of Scotland. Macbeth is spurred by his ambition and his wife, and he murders Duncan and accedes to the throne. His reign is bloody and tyrannical and ended by the combined forces of Scotland and England.

《麦克白》（英语：Macbeth）是莎士比亚最短的悲剧，也是他最受欢迎的作品之一。常被认为是他悲剧中最为阴暗、最富震撼力的作品。故事的地点设在苏格兰，并以戏剧的方式、通过心理作用、政治争斗的方式观察了追逐权势而背信弃义的邪恶。它大致根据苏格兰哲学家赫克托·波伊斯的《苏格兰国王麦克白》而写成。
