The Story Behind the Shape

The journey begins with a sharp ascent as the prophecy of kingship and the title of Cawdor fuel a bloody ambition that seizes the crown (↑). Yet, the throne is built on sand; the escape of Fleance and the haunting appearance of Banquo’s ghost mark the beginning of an unraveling mind. The line plunges into total ruin as Lady Macbeth dies, Birnam Wood moves against the castle, and Macbeth falls to Macduff (↓↓↓).
