I still have a few doubts about Macbeth's plot.I hope you can have a look at them.


1) Lady Macbeth gives the king’s guards a lot to drink and in the middle of the night Macbeth kills Duncan with the knife of one of the soldiers.
2)The next morning the murder is discovered and the blame is put the king’s servants who slept outside the room.
3)Everyone begins to think that the king’s sons had paid the two soldiers to kill Duncan because they wanted the throne for themselves. The King’s sons leave the castle secretly fearing for their life.
4) Macbeth doesn’t feel safe because he is obsessed with the witches’ prophecy by (or to?) Banquo.
5)He is worried that Banquo’s son will take his place. He decides to have Banquo and his son killed. Banquo’s son, Fleance, manages to escape and Banquo’s ghost begins to haunt him.
6) In the fourth act the three witches tell him to be careful (to beware) of Macduff .
7) They also tell him that no man born of woman can hurt him and that he cannot be defeated (he will be safe) as long as Birnam Wood does not move (until B W moves) to Dunsinane Hill to fight against him.
8) The fifth act opens with the sight of Lady Macbeth’s madness. She walks in her sleep, trying to wash away Duncan’s blood from her hands.

1) OK

2)The next morning, the murder is discovered, and the blame is put on the king’s servants, who slept outside the room.

#6 should be "to beware of Macduff."

Sure, I'd be happy to help explain the plot of Macbeth. Here's a breakdown of the points you mentioned:

1) Lady Macbeth gives the king's guards a lot to drink and, in the middle of the night, Macbeth kills Duncan with a soldier's knife:
In Act 1, Lady Macbeth plans to drug the guards so that they are unconscious while Macbeth kills King Duncan. Macbeth then carries out the murder using the knife of one of the soldiers.

2) The next morning, the murder is discovered and blame is put on the king's servants:
After the murder, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth act as if they are shocked and devastated by Duncan's death. Macbeth kills the guards, claiming that he did so out of anger and grief, and blames them for the murder.

3) Everyone begins to suspect the king's sons and they leave the castle secretly:
Macbeth manipulates the situation to make it seem like the king's sons, Malcolm and Donalbain, are responsible for Duncan's murder. The people in the castle suspect the sons and, out of fear for their lives, Malcolm and Donalbain flee the castle.

4) Macbeth is obsessed with the witches' prophecy about Banquo:
Earlier in the play, the witches had given Macbeth a prophecy that his future descendants would be kings. Macbeth becomes paranoid and worried that Banquo's descendants will take his place on the throne, as the witches also prophesied that Banquo's sons will become kings.

5) Macbeth decides to have Banquo and his son killed:
To eliminate the threat to his throne, Macbeth arranges for Banquo and his son Fleance to be murdered. However, Fleance manages to escape, and Banquo's ghost begins to haunt Macbeth, appearing at a banquet and tormenting his guilty conscience.

6) The witches warn Macbeth to beware of Macduff:
In Act 4, Macbeth seeks the witches' counsel again. They inform him to be cautious of Macduff, suggesting that Macduff poses a threat to his kingship.

7) The witches also tell Macbeth that he cannot be harmed by anyone born of woman, and that he will be safe until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill:
The witches give Macbeth a false sense of invincibility by telling him that no man born of a woman can harm him. They also say that he will only be defeated when Birnam Wood literally moves to Dunsinane Hill, which seems impossible.

8) The fifth act opens with Lady Macbeth's madness:
Lady Macbeth suffers from extreme guilt and remorse for her involvement in Duncan's murder. In her sleepwalking state, she tries to wash away imagined bloodstains from her hands, symbolizing her guilt and mental turmoil.

I hope this helps clarify the plot of Macbeth for you. Let me know if you have any further questions!
