The tale of Macbeth was a seeming tragedy by word of Shakespeare. Though you must keep in mind that Shakespeare was a playwright, and that drama is the stuff pumping through his veins, and as such the true story of Macbeth was more a story about the futility and brutality of power beautifully written by chance than a story of narcissism and nepotism
