Macbeth by William Shakespeare is set in the Middle Ages‚ an 11th Century Scotland. Macbeth is about a Scottish man who is thane of Glamis‚ yet three witches make a prophecy

I believe it is strongly because of her father and the way he treated her while she was growing up. The story only spoke briefly about the father‚ but what they did say made him out

She is a decaying
