We have no evidence that King James was interested at all in Macbeth, either the play or the historical figure. There is no evidence that he ever even saw the play. He never wrote about the king. The whole idea that Macbeth was written expressly for King James was advanced by the scholar cum conspiracy theorist Henry Paul in 1950 and like so many ideas about Shakespeare which are quite unsupported by evidence has become widely accepted.
King James I had an intense interest in the supernatural elements of Macbeth, particularly the presence of witches and their prophecies in the play. He believed in witchcraft and the divine right of kings, making the themes of the play deeply relevant to his own beliefs and fears.
James I's favorite play by Shakespeare was "Macbeth." He was known to have a personal interest in the supernatural themes of the play and found the character of Macbeth intriguing.
The eighth ruler portrayed by the apparitions in Macbeth represents King James I of England, who was also King James VI of Scotland. The play Macbeth was written by Shakespeare to please and flatter King James I, who had a keen interest in witchcraft and the supernatural.
When William Shakespeare wrote "Macbeth" in 1606, James I was on the English throne. James I of England and VI of Scotland succeeded Queen Elizabeth I in 1603. The play is believed to have been written as a homage to James I, who had a keen interest in witchcraft and the supernatural.
