That's the name of the main character.
It doesn't say that anywhere in the play. Also, Macbeth is a male.
Macbeth
Macbeth
No, Richard III was based in England.The only Shakespeare play based in Scotland is Macbeth.
The play Macbeth alludes to the Plot
The Comedy of Errors, The Tempest and Macbeth in that order.
The last play of Shakespeare's four great tragedies is "Macbeth" and it was written in 1606. He wrote the first of the great tragedies, "Hamlet" in 1600.
not much really... only Shakespeares Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet
No, actually Macbeth is in the play called "Macbeth." The Merchant of Venice is a different play, with entirely different characters, but both are in the category of Shakespearean plays.
The usual legend surround Macbeth is that if you say Macbeth while it is in production, you are dooming the theatre to it's death. It's been said that when it's said, it can cause fires, falls, and serious injuries.Because of this, if it is ever performed, it's called "The Scottish Play".
The play is called Macbeth because the story centers around Macbeth. Although Lady Macbeth is an important character, she is only the second most important character. In addition, Shakespeare had a habit of naming plays after kings, even if the king is not the most important character in the play (as in Henry IV Parts 1 and 2 and the three parts of Henry VI). So even if you think Lady Macbeth was as important as Macbeth (and I suggest that's tough to argue), the play is still called Macbeth, because he did not write a play called Queen Margaret even if she's more important than Henry VI her husband.
At the beginning of the play in act 1 the Thane of Cawdor (the earlier one, not Macbeth) is a traitor, and also a guy called Macdonweald whom Macbeth defeats.
