jan 1, 1605 - Shakespeare creates Macbeth (1605-1606)

Description:

Shakespeare created one of the most haunting plays of his time. Due to high paranoia of witches, it was a dangerous choice to include them into his play. He wrote this play for King James l, as he was very interested in the supernatural, and even was known to participate in witch trials. This shows how a good, honorable man can turn into a dark, terrible person with just a simple push. This display and demonstration of such elements make it one of Shakespeare's most famous plays.
