Thane Of Cawdor Face To Face

Foretelling the Future Macbeth by William
Shakespeare, is a play about a man who sacrifices
everything he has to become king. There were many
factors that led to Macbeth degenerating from a
noble warrior, to a fallen king, however I believe

through Lady Macbeth, and of course through the
witches, who reveal more to Macbeth then he ever
possibly knew. In Act...
