Macbeth and Banquo who are generals serving King Duncan meet three witches who prophesize that Macbeth will become thane of Cawdor, then King, and that Banquo will beget kings. Soon thereafter, Macbeth is made thane, and this leads him to believe the rest of the prophecy. Lady Macbeth spurs Macbeth to murder Duncan, Duncan's sons flee the country fearing for their lives. As a result they are suspected of murdering their father and Macbeth becomes king. Worried by the witches' prophesy, Macbeth arranges the death of Banquo, though Banquo's son escapes. Banquo's ghost haunts Macbeth and Lady Macbeth is driven to madness by her guilt. Learning that Macduff is hinging Malcolm's army, Macbeth orders the slaughter of Macduff's wife and children. Lady Macbeth dies; Macduff kills Macbeth in battle. Malcolm then becomes the rightful king.
