Tragedy In Macbeth

She cries to her maid, and tells the maid her part in the murders. All the Scottish lords gather in England to prepare for the battle, including Birnam Wood. Meanwhile Macbeth's army is on Dennison Hill. Lady Macbeth dies of insanity, and Macbeth prepares for a battle he knows he'll lose. Another prophecy says he will not die until he meets a man not born of woman. He feels confident until he meets Macduff who reveals he was born of a Caesarian delivery.Macbeth is killed and Malcolm becomes king of Scotland. The three witches prophecies come true again, as always. This play has a reputation of lots of deaths, injuries, and fires for the theatre groups who present it. In many theatres actors are advised not to say "Macbeth" or else a something bad will happen to you, or maybe even the person beside you. In most actors eyes it's not a superstition, more like a courtesy for all the people who didn't deserve to die, but died.No incidents were recorded in the original productions
of Macbeth, but traditional folklore is that everyone knows accidents happen when this word for the Scottish Play is used on the set. Most deaths occurred while rehearsing the play. If you say Macbeth instead of referring to it as the Scottish play, Mr. Forier will make you go out side and ask for permission to come back in. To this day some directors won't even ponder the idea of directing "The Scottish play."
