Macbeth Plot Summary
What happens in Macbeth from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In a quiet cemetery, the Weird Sisters—three schoolgirl witches—mark the day with mischief, tearing at headstones and statues while nearby Lady Macbeth mourns beside a stone labeled “beloved son,” with Macbeth standing close by. The trio of spectral visions hints at a meeting with Macbeth later, and after setting their plan in motion, they drift away into the shadows.
Back in Inverness, Macbeth accompanies Duncan and his entourage on a dangerous pursuit: a tense drug-fueled deal with Macdonwald and his gang. A fierce gunfight erupts, and Macdonwald’s men are all wiped out. In the chaos, Banquo and Macbeth pursue the fleeing gunmen to the Cawdor Club, where they seize the club and kill its owner in a swift, decisive moment.
