Informative Speech On Macbeth
Today is going to be a great day for the history of Scotland. After much tragedy, caused by the greed of the worst kind of men, order will finally be reestablished with the coronation of our new king: Macbeth. I, Ross, and all of the other noblemen of Scotland were invited to his castle for supper as part of the coronation tradition.

Someone mutters that he’s gone mad. Eventually, he recovers and we’re all a bit shocked by what has happened, but all in all relieved. As soon as it was over, another episode takes hold, and Lady Macbeth is quick to end the party, and shoos us all outside as quickly as she could. Maybe today isn’t a great day in the history of Scotland. Maybe the chaos isn’t over
