Best Answer

While Shakespeare's play Macbeth is based on historical events, he took significant liberties with the historical facts to make the story more dramatic and appealing to his audience. Shakespeare often prioritized the themes and emotions of his plays over historical accuracy. Additionally, he may have adapted the story to cater to the political climate and expectations of his time.

Did Shakespeare write Macbeth?

Yes, William Shakespeare [Baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616] wrote 'The Tragedy of Macbeth'. He most likely wrote the play no earlier than 1603, and no later than 1606 or 1607. The choice of a tragic theme, the harmonization of the play with the interests of the prevailing monarch, the presentation of a range of personality types, and the use of compelling dialogue were hallmarks of 'Macbeth' and of the other Shakespearean tragedies.
