The Gunpowder Plot, a plot by fanatical Catholics to blow up the king and Parliament with gunpowder, was discovered on November 5, 1605, and Guy Fawkes Day is still celebrated on November 5 to commemorate it. (Guy Fawkes was one of the conspirators). One of the organizers of the plot, Father Garnett, had published a pamphlet on how to equivocate, or lie without really lying, and the words "equivocate" and "equivocator" appear throughout the play, particularly in the Porter's speech.

The Gunpowder Plot was a failed assassination attempt on King James I in 1605, while Macbeth was written by William Shakespeare in 1606. The events of the Gunpowder Plot might have influenced the themes of treachery, power struggles, and political instability in Macbeth, as Shakespeare often incorporated contemporary events and concerns into his plays.
