Μάκβεθ
1623
Translated by Demetrios Vikelas
''Μάκβεθ'' is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, first published in 1623. The play follows Macbeth, a Scottish nobleman, whose ambition is ignited by a prophecy from three witches, leading him to murder King Duncan and seize the throne. As Macbeth descends into tyranny and madness, the themes of ambition, power, and guilt are explored, particularly through the influence of Lady Macbeth. This work is notable for its exploration of the psychological effects of unchecked ambition and the moral consequences of one's actions.

“By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.””

“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,To the last syllable of recorded time;And all our yesterdays have lighted foolsThe way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,And then is heard no more. It is a taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing.””
