Macbeth was a very brave soldier. He had a friend named Banquo that would always fight next to him. One day they were at war again and afterwards they saw something weird....
There were three witches that came towards them. They told Macbeth that he would be the next King of Scotland.
Macbeth wrote to his wife to tell her the news. She wanted Macbeth to become king because then she could become Queen and that is something that she really wanted. Scotland did have a king at that moment.
The King of Scotland was King Duncan and Macbeth's wife invited him over when Macbeth was back. When Duncan was asleep she told Macbeth to kill him so that he could become king. Macbeth did not want to do it. He knew that Duncan was a good King.
Macbeth knew it was wrong to kill Duncan, but he wanted to become King. Then he saw a knife in front of him....
