Prophesize: Set MACBETH in motion

“All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!”

At the beginning of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth three witches announce a prophecy that Macbeth will be king and that Banquo’s descendants will also rule. Thus begins a chain of events that descend into murder and tragedy. We’ve put together an interactive chart that roughly illustrates the events of the play.

To get started, highlight the witches’ node and then click the “up” arrow. Watch the resulting reverberations. Click “remix” to play around with the chart yourself. (sadly this doesn’t work well on some mobile devices, revisit on a desktop computer!)
