Reflection on Macbeth

The play of Macbeth is just about a cowardly king who desires power but fears to seize it from the others, such as Duncan. Although Macbeth is very scared to kill people, his wife Lady Macbeth always gives him the strength to do so. She is determined to have power. I believe that the three witches in the story helps build up the tension of the story. Because of the witches, Macbeth becomes frightened and is aware that other people may take his throne and that his own sons would not be the next heir to the throne. The play focuses on how Macbeth seeks to change that prediction from the witches but fails in the end.
