Macbeth is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare, believed to be first presented in 1606. After ordering his men to murder his good friend Banquo, Macbeth sees the ghost of his friend, during a dinner with some nobles. Being confronted by his murdered victim, Macbeth loses self-control and completely ignoring his important guests, he interacts and discusses with the ghost.
