King hereafter!” (Act.1 Scene 3) The odd aspect about this proficiency is that during this time‚ is that most kings were chosen by God. Macbeth being “The Chosen One” took it upon himself to do anything in his power to make

De Schotse Koning “All hail‚ Macbeth‚ that shalt be king hereafter‚”( I. 3. 53). Macbeth‚ infamously known as ‘that Scottish play’‚ was written by Shakespeare in 1606.
