150 hal.; 19 cm Macbeth is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. It is thought to have been first performed in 1606. It dramatises the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power. Of all the plays that Shakespeare wrote during the reign of James I, Macbeth most clearly reflects his relationship with King James, patron of Shakespeare's acting company. It was first published in the Folio of 1623, possibly from a prompt book, and is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy. A brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia. Forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion, he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler. The bloodbath and consequent civil war swiftly take Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into the realms of madness and death. macbeth 823 9781398807808 PERPUSTAKAAN SMA REGINA PACIS SURAKARTA HUMANIS DAN BERWAWASAN GLOBAL - NPP : 3372011e2000003 /JAM BUKA Senin - Jumat : Open : 06.45 WIB /Close : 14.45 WIB / SABTU (Minggu ke 2) Open : 07.00 WIB /Close : 12.00 WIB 823 SHA m 24SR02740 My Library (800) 823 SHA m 3b40bfcf-d4fb-482f-9956-e3af2cacc0b1.jpg.jpg 16162 2024-02-19 07:53:45 2024-02-23 07:58:18 machine generated
