Best Answer

Themes are universal when they apply to people anywhere at any time. Would a Chinese Mandarin understand the question of the effect on a country when a ruler bases his rule on murder and deceit? Would a South Seas islander understand the question of the effect on an otherwise virtuous person of succumbing to temptation and doing the unspeakable? Is there anyone in the world who has not grappled with the idea of prophecy? I think the answers to these questions suggest that the themes dealt with in Macbeth are indeed universal.

Why did Shakespeare make mmacbeth a villen?

I assume you meant "Why did Shakespeare make Macbeth a villan?" Well, what could the storyline have been if he wasn't a villan? Shakespeare's Macbeth was based on the real Macbeth. He murdered his king, Duncan, and became king. I guess that means that the real Macbeth was a villan, and so Shakespeare only kept it that way, showing it wasn't Shakespeare that made his character of Macbeth a villan.
