Why did shakespeare change the character of the real Macbeth completely in his play?
Shakespeare was not interested in writing history. Even his so-called History Plays changed facts for dramatic effect. Macbeth is a tragedy. It was more important to create a tragic character than an accurate one.
Why do you think shakespeare chose to use apostrophe rather than have Macbeth describe a menacing dagger?
Shakespeare used apostrophe in Macbeth's soliloquy to create dramatic effect and emphasize Macbeth's hallucinations and inner turmoil. By having Macbeth address the dagger directly, it allows the audience to see the depth of his psychological struggle and descent into madness. It also adds an element of tension and suspense to the scene.

How did Shakespeare's relationships affect his writing?
As far as we can tell (which is not much), Shakespeare's personal life had no effect whatsoever on his writing. Plays are an art form which rarely give any insight into the playwright, since there is not usually an omniscient narrator which represents the author's point of view, as in prose writing. Poetry can sometimes reveal something about the poet, but although Shakespeare's sonnets are written to various people, they do not really tell us much about Shakespeare's relationship with those people, which is why they are the basis for so much wild speculation. However little Shakespeare's personal life appears to have contributed to the content of his writing, his associates made his writing possible. He could not have published his poetry without noble patrons, nor could he have written the plays without the support of his theatre company.
What is the play Macbeth about?
It is about a man who is called Macbeth who murders King Duncan, the current ruler, in order to take the throne.

Did war have an effect on Shakespeare?
It is difficult to say what did or did not affect Shakespeare. We have no reason to believe that he served at any time in the armed forces. During his lifetime England was involved in warfare in Ireland and the Netherlands from time to time, but these did not affect the average Englishman. The threat of invasion from Spain in 1588 must have had a more general impact, but the actual warfare was confined to ships at sea. It is unlikely, then, that warfare had any significant effect on Shakespeare
