5. HISTORY

   • Macbeth, a general of the Scottish army, and also General Banquo, after coming victorious from an uprising, found three witches. These predicted events that would occur in his most recent future: Macbeth would receive the titles of Baron de Glamis and Baron de Cawdor, a fact that happens, after learning Duncan of his victory in battle. They also predict that he will become king. On the other hand, Banquo, after insisting that they reveal something to him, heard that his descendants would accede to the throne as well.
   • When this news is given, the king's sons, Malcolm and Donalbain decide to flee to England and Ireland respectively, so they become the main suspects. In this way, the third revelation of the witches is fulfilled. Now the main concern of Macbeth is that of the children of Banquo happened to occupy the throne, according to the prophecies of the witches.
     • Finally, the English army was joined by the army of Macbeth, whose men were not faithful and fought against Macbeth. Already without the support of his men, Macbeth is defeated by Macduff (who was the unborn child of a woman, that is, he was taken from the body of his dead mother). Being thus named king, in Scotland, Malcolm.
   • When Macbeth arrives at his castle, he tells what happened to his wife, and they both decide to assassinate Duncan in order to see how the witches' prediction of being king comes to an end. The king, having been invited to honor the glorious Macbeth, arrives at his house and it is then, when he hesitates to perform such macabre murder. Lady Macbeth doubts her little honor and manliness so Macbeth retracts and decides to finish what they had already planned.
     • After giving the servants the excessive wine, Macbeth carried out the murder
