All of these statements accurately describe The Tragedy of Macbeth, by William Shakespeare. This is Shakespeare's shortest play, and one of his most famous ones. The play describes a man who is completely consumed by ambition after hearing a prophecy that claimed he will one day be King of Scotland. In order to accomplish this, he murders others, and the events that follow wreak havoc in the country. In this way, Shakespeare conveys the view that stability is only possible when a king is good and virtuous.
