A few facts… Macbeth was a real

person. In Shakespeare’s

time, Macbeth was a thriller.

More about the psychological truth than in historical fact.

Shakespeare’s plays were affected by the rulers of the time, called a command performance.Story linesGenresSubjects

“If King James, the patron of Shakespeare’s company, ever saw the play, it must have pleased him. Since he had recently survived the Gunpowder Plot, James was especially interested in attacks on kings; he always defended the idea that he ruled by divine right.”

King James was a Scot before ruling England after the death of Queen Elizabeth I.
