    If it weren't for Shakespeare's Play, Verdi's namesake opera and the Disney's Gargoyles, I would not know about the real-life Macbeth!

    There wad a very interesting documentary on the Real Macbeth on Radio Scotland a few years ago, he was reported to be a good landlord, had a long and happy marriage, and improved the farm land immensely. Moray is a BEAUTIFUL part of Scotland BTW 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️.

      I was watching the Tragedy of Macbeth by Joel Coen and I asked myself “I wonder if Macbeth was based on a real king” only to find out he was entirely real w no name changes similar to Shakespeare’s Henriad

    You have to remember, part of the reason Shakespeare wrote the Scottish Play, was to reinforce King James's claim to the unified throne.

I do luv the movies made especially the witches prophecy & scenes w/ the witches ...11century ... long time ago ...royalty & the games they play & if any of them married for love I'm not certain if they were lucky or not since many died horrible deaths; being caught up in premediated murder, poison & hunting accidents for example 🤔

    By my time in high school I had heard that Shakespeare had based the character Banquo on the real life King of Scotland I believe and had even invited him to attend thr show and even let him be the one to hold the mirror that Macbeth looks at to see Banquo while dead has line that will stretch for centuries, so I knew there was some truth to this. And loving the first part if the play and realizing that instead if peoples names they are referred to by position and location so hearing a name like "Norway himself in terrible numbers" makes me ok Vikings which also dates the story roughly. But get the full history of the real life man is great.

But in reality, by doing so, they're admitting they're ashamed to be black. They're basically saying they'd rather be white and celebrate Europe's history and culture while Africa's own rich history is once again ignored, and forgotten... it's sad, truly.

      @Patrick Fitzgerald You are wrong. Macbeth was of a mix heritage. His father was a moor. You need to understand the demographics of those times. Racism wasn’t invented yet and people traveled from civilisation to others. In those days Spain and southern Italy had black kings. It was not uncommon for people to been mix raced relationships back then because the caste system wasn’t invented yet.
