Macbeth History
I did some research on the historical background of Macbeth, and I found this interesting article. Shakespeare loosely based Macbeth, on the real story of Macbeth, the king of Scotland, from around 1040 to 1057. The article explains the real story of Duncan and Macbeth of Scotland and draws comparisons between the actual history and Shakespeare's Macbeth.

The article is very interesting!! It relates a lot to the current time and then shows the similarities and differences of the play to real life. I really liked this connection because it shows how Shakespeare changed Macbeth to how he wanted it to be written, however in history that is not all true.
