  • Macbeth writes a letter to his wife about what happened, and she tells him to murder King Duncan to become king. 
  • He kills the king and the king's sons flee to England and Ireland
  • Macbeth kills his own friend Banquo but fails to kill Fleance, Banquo's son. 
  • Witches tell Macbeth to be careful of Macduff.
  • Macbeth faces his death when he battled against Macduff and Malcolm's troops.
