Macbeth and his friend Banquo encounter three witches who prophesy that Macbeth will become King of Scotland. When King Duncan stays at Macbeth's castle, Lady Macbeth convinces Macbeth to murder Duncan so he can become king. Macbeth does so but begins to feel guilty. To protect his secret, Macbeth also arranges for Banquo's murder. However, Macbeth grows increasingly paranoid and has other perceived threats killed. His guilt and fear drive him to further violence until an army attacks to overthrow him as king.
