The Evil Tyrant of MacbethThe play begins with Macbeth returning from battle. The King, Duncan, is told about his exploits in the battle. Although it is obvious that Macbeth is not a usual soldier, "cut off his head and raised it onto the bridge," he is the hero of the battle and given appropriate honors.On his return from the battle Macbeth comes upon the three witches who great him, "Hail Glamis, Hail Cawdor, and who halt be King hereafter." At first it appears Macbeth does not take them seriously, but when he receives word that he is now the Thane of Cawdor he begins to think about what has been said. "Why should they give me two predictions commencing with a truth, I am the Thane of Cawdor."
