Macbeth.

What is "Macbeth" about?
Act one scene one is about three infamous witches of Macbeth make their first appearance as they make convoluted conversation with each other amidst terrifying thunder and lightning.

As for act one scene two, King Duncan, his sons Malcolm and Donalbain and the nobleman Lennox meet with a bleeding captain who recounts the details of the aforementioned battle.  Malcolm bids the captain, who valiantly fought in the battle, to tell the king the present state of affairs.  He says that the rebel Macdonwald swarmed the battlefield with his men, who claimed nativity from far-off places like the Western Isles. But brave Macbeth killed Macdonwald without letting him bade farewell. After a fight with the rebels, the Norwegian king began a fresh assault with more men and supplies. Macbeth and Banquo continues to fight twice as hard. The worthy Thane of Ross came and said that the Norwegian king wants a treaty. The thane of Cawdor betrayed the king and Macbeth was given the title of thane of Cawdor. The Norwegian king was to pay $10000 and retreat before he could bury his men.

Pick your favourite character. Justify.
My favourite character is King Duncan. He is a cheerful king and acknowledge people when they are good at something. He also think about Macbeth and thought that he would not betray him, thus Macbeth was given the thane of Cawdor.
What can you learn form "Macbeth"?
 From this story, I can learn about what is loyalty and what is betrayal. People can sometimes get influenced easily and they will regret for what they did before.
