Duncan, King of Scotland, along with his sons, Malcolm and Donalbain, hears reports of Macbeth ís valor in battle and news that the rebel, Macdonwald, is slain and Norway driven back. In return for his bravery, Duncan sends a messenger to grant Macbeth the title Thane of Cawdor.  \nMacbeth and his friend and fellow soldier Banquo make their way home after the victory and encounter the three witches. Taken aback by their unearthly appearance, Macbeth and Banquo listen amazed asthe witches call Macbeth Thane of Glamis, then Thane of Cawdor and future King of Scotland. The witches go on to prophesy that Banquo, though never a king himself, will beget kings. Macbeth demands to know where the witches came by this information, but the witches disappear. Macbeth and Banquo agree never to speak about the witches í words.  \nReeling from this seemingly supernatural occurrence, Macbeth and Banquo are further amazed when messengers from King Duncan, lords Ross and Angus, deliver the news that Macbeth has been granted the title Thane of Cawdor. Macbeth contemplates the witches í predictions and wonders if he should assist fate by doing away with King Duncan himself. Suppressing these murderous thoughts, Macbeth accompanies Ross, Angus and Banquo to see the king. Duncan honors Macbeth and Banquo for their deeds in battle and then declares his son, Malcolm, Prince of Cumberland, the official heir to the throne. The entire party departs to Inverness, Macbeth ís home: Macbeth hurries ahead to prepare for their coming.  \nHaving sent word home to his wife about the predictions of the three witches, Macbeth arrives to find her already plotting the kingís murder. Macbeth, at first horrified by his wife ís plans, agrees to kill the king. That night, Lady Macbeth drugs the wine of the kingís guards, which lulls them to sleep. On the way to murder Duncan, Macbeth sees a dagger floating in the air before him, leading him to the kingís chamber. Macbeth kills Duncan with the guards í daggers; consumed by guilt, he flees with the daggers and describes the murders to Lady Macbeth. Confronted by the reality of his actions, Macbeth is afraid to return to the kingís chamber with the guards í daggers; Lady Macbeth replaces them herself, setting the scene for the guards to be blamed for the kingís murder.  \nJohn Singer Sargent ís portrait of Dame Ellen  \nTerry as Lady Macbeth (1889) .  \nEarly in the morning, Macduff and Lennox arrive to meet the king and discover his bloody body. Macbeth rushes into the chamber and kills the two sleeping guards with their daggers. In the ensuing confusion, Malcolm and Donalbain, the kingís sons, flee to England and Ireland, respectively. The princes í flight arouses suspicion of their guilt, and Macbeth is crowned King of Scotland.  \nHaving achieved the throne, Macbeth begins to fear Banquo, who witnessed the witches í prophesy and whoóaccording to themówill beget a long line of kings. Macbeth plans a great feast to which he invites Banquo, then arranges to have him and his son, Fleance, murdered. Banquo is killed, but Fleance escapes. At the feast Macbeth sees the ghost of  \nBanquo sitting at the table. The vision intensifies Macbethís already erratic behavior and Lady Macbeth sends the lords away. Tormented by guilt and fearing for his future as king, Macbeth decides to visit the witches again.  \nSome of the Scottish lords have begun to suspect Macbethís involvement in the murders. Macduff travels to England to meet with Malcolm, who has been taken in by King Edward (Edward the Confessor, 1042-66), in hopes that Edward will support Malcolm by sending an army headed by Siward, Earl of Northumberland. Upon learning of his flight, Macbeth sends murderers to surprise Macduffís castle in his absence and kill his wife and children.
