What play was shakespeare probably writing when the gunpowder plot was discovered?
The references in the Porter's scene of Macbeth point to the trial of the perpetrators of the Gunpowder Plot in 1606, the year after the famous fifth of November. He may have started Macbeth in 1605 and then adjusted it to include the topical references after the plot was revealed. Or he may have been inspired to write the play in the first place by the Plot, since themes of the violent overthrow of kings and the predestined right of the Stuart kings to rule would have been very topical after the attempt. He might have actually been writing some other play, like King Lear, on November 5, 1605.
