Macbeth Notes

-Macbeth a villian
-sinister, evil, bloody death
-king james 1 was fascinated by witch craft, so shakespeare wrote the "3 wierd sisters" into the play
-performed for king james at the Hampton court palace
-of 14 kings, 10 were murdered
macbeth was a real man
-shakespeares story wasn't completely real, for example how macbeth kills his king, rebels against God and creation, and becomes inhumane
-his crime is punished by debt
-lady macbeth is evil!
-asked to turn her breast milk into bile to kill the baby
-wanted her man to kill the king
-horses go wild and devour eachother alive
chief source was Holinshed's "Chronicles"
