One of Shakespeares greatest, but also bloodiest tragedies, was written around 1605/06. Many have seen the story of Macbeths murder and usurpation of the legitimate Scottish King Duncan as having obvious connection to contemporary issues regarding King James I (James VI of Scotland), and the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. King James was particularly fascinated with witchcraft, so the appearance of the witches chanting Fair is foul, and foul is fair at the opening of the play seemed particularly topical, as was Macbeths betrayal of Banquo, from whom James claimed direct descent.However, the play is clearly far more than a piece of royal entertainment. It is also a fast-moving and dramatically satisfying piece of theatre. Macbeths existential struggle between loyalty to his King and his Vaulting ambition is fascinating to watch, as his is struggle with Lady Macbeth, and her own terrifying refusal of her maternal role. The play shows an intensification of Shakespeares interest in mothers and their effect upon ruling masculinity, and also contains some of the most memorable speeches in the entire canon, including Macbeths reflections that ultimately life is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing.
