TL;DR: Macbeth hears that he is going to be king; he and Lady Macbeth kill people so he can become king; both of them die. Three witches tell the Scottish general Macbeth that he will be King of Scotland. Encouraged by his wife, Macbeth kills the king, becomes the new king, and kills more people out of paranoia. Civil war erupts to overthrow Macbeth, resulting in more death. On a bleak Scottish moorland, Macbeth and Banquo, two of King Duncan's generals, discover three strange women witches.


William Shakespeare effectively uses dramatic irony to intrigue the reader and deepen the impact of the consequences Macbeth ultimately faces. Dramatic Irony Definition: Dramatic Irony is a literary term that defines a situation in the play where the reader knows more than the character does. Thesis: Throughout the play Macbeth, the reader is given the advantage of knowing more things than the characters in the play through the literary device, dramatic irony. This is ironic because Macbeth does not actually know that King Duncan has already made him the Thane of Cawdor.
