Following the witches' prophecies, Macbeth is honored with the title of Thane of Cawdor, which adds to his conflicted emotions about destiny and ambition. Meanwhile, his companion Banquo is warned that his descendants will be kings, setting up the tension between the two characters. This opening sets the stage for the tragedy that will unfold, exploring the consequences of unchecked ambition and moral decay. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
