Have your ever seen a play? Plays can be the most wonderful thing in the world. Plays be gain takin play hundreds of years ago. The one play that was played years ago is still looked at to be one of the best plays ever to have stepped foot on the stage. The play is called Macbeth and was first performed in the summer of 1606 with James and the visiting king of Denmark in attendance. The play was written by Shakespear in thought to please King James and account for the prominence of witchcraft in Macbeth.
In that time witches were feared by the less educated people. No one wanted to spread of witch’s they thought that witches use accusations of witchcraft as a way to get rid of political enemies. In the play Macbeth there were a couple people that influenced Macbeth to do the bad things or things that he did to be come King and to stay King. I think the biggest influence of them all was she made Macbeth kill the king. At first when she asked him to kill the king Macbeth didnt want to there was no reason for it. But then she called him names and told him how much of a coward he was and that he had to honor.
She told Macbeth what to do all the time and when she didnt get her was Macbeth was in trouble. Lady Macbeth was very spoiled if you ask me she needed to get her way and she would do anything it took to have it like that. There were others in the story that influenced Macbeth to do things that he normal wouldnt do and that was the witches. The witches had a big part of the play but were thought to be added in after the play was taken.
But the witches influenced and told Macbeth that people were go in to talk to castle from him and they made he not care about anything. The only thing that Macbeth cared about was King. Like when Lady Macbeth died he didnt care he didnt have time to care or think about his lost wife his King ship was on the line. Lady Macbeth was thought to be a witch but was never proven to be. Like witch’s couldnt have kids and Lady Macbeth couldnt eat her. Macbeth’s character change form the beginning of the story to the end.
In the beginning of the story he was to be a true and hones man. Like some great leader that could go into a battle and come out on top. He was known as a true King. After all the stuff happening and him killing the king and then killing the sons so they couldnt become king. Macbeth tryed to do everything he would to stay king no matter what it took. He didnt care about the people of the city and no one else but him self.
Macbeth’s play was one of the best and greatest plays there ever was and that’s hundreds of years ago. Macbeth is still studied today and there is money things that they are not sure what Shakespear maen t or if the play was changed or altered after King James saw it. They will never know that’s what makes the play so great, it keeps your wondering what if?
