A futuristic AI robot depiction of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth from Shakespeare's play. Macbeth is a humanoid robot with a sleek metallic armor resembling medieval knight plating, glowing red eyes, and an imposing stance. Lady Macbeth is a cybernetic queen with an elegant but mechanical appearance, adorned with intricate circuits and a flowing, high-tech robe. The background is a dark, misty Scottish castle with neon-lit accents, blending Shakespearean tragedy with cyberpunk aesthetics.
