While reading
Read the passage.
A year or two before Edward the Confessor began to rule England; a battle
was won in Scotland against a Norwegian King by two generals named
Macbeth and Banquo. After the battle, the generals walked together towards
Forres, in Elginshire, where Duncan, King of Scotland, was awaiting them.
While they were crossing a lonely heath, they saw three women withered in
appearance and wild in attire. “Hail, Macbeth, chieftain of Glamis,” said the
first woman. “Hail, Macbeth, chieftain of Cawdor,” said the second woman.
“Hail, Macbeth, King that is to be,” said the third woman. Then Banquo
asked, “What of me?” and the third woman replied, “Thou shalt be the father
of kings.” Banquo and Macbeth knew then that they had been addressed by
witches, and were discussing their prophecies, “The third witch called me,
'King that is to be.' “Banquo,” he said, “you see that the witches spoke truth
concerning me. Do you not believe that your child and grandchild will be
kings?” Banquo frowned. Macbeth thought the prophecy that he should be
King too pleasant to keep to himself and he mentioned it to his wife in a letter.
When Lady Macbeth, read his letter, she was determined that he should be
King. When a messenger arrived to inform her that Duncan would pass a night
in Macbeth's castle. She told Macbeth as she saw him that Duncan must spend
a sunless morrow. She meant that Duncan must die. After supper Duncan went
to bed, and two grooms were placed on guard at his bedroom door. Lady
Macbeth caused them to drink wine till they were stupefied. Macbeth came
and found the daggers lying by the grooms; and soon with red hands appeared
before his wife. The murderers heard a knocking. It was Macduff, the
chieftain of Fife.
Macbeth showed him the door of the King's room. Macduff entered, and came
out again crying, “O horror!” Macbeth appeared as horror-stricken as Macduff
and he slew the two grooms with their own daggers. Macbeth was crowned at
Scone. Macbeth was King.
