Why did so many people believe in witches in the 1600s?
because people were accused of doing feats that were seemingly impossible at the time. They were then accused of witchcraft and sentenced to death. I think they were tied to a post. Their feet werent touching the ground, and then the villigers piled wood beneath them and lit it on fire wounding and eventually killing the accued. But that was irrelivant so i must move onto topic.But yes, i think that's why they believed in witches at the time. But witches were already a word before the 1600's so the people became suspicious of the "witches'' after som smarticle came up with the legend of the witches to get the people all scared and stuff.
What did people think of witches in Shakespeare's time?
In the seventeenth century, some people took witches very seriously indeed, as the events in Salem Massachusetts show. But curiously, in Shakespeare's play Macbeth, the witches are kind of silly and sing cute little songs. These songs were apparently added to the play by another playwright, Thomas Middleton, because the audience wanted the witches to be funnier. Nowadays no productions of Macbeth actually use the silly witch lines, because modern audiences want the witches to be scary. Maybe that is because they are not really frightened of them.
What would be the reaction of the Jacobean audience when faced with the witches in Macbeth?
Although the people of that era believed in witches, the witches in Macbeth were very probably not portrayed as frightening. The very silly scenes involving songs and the headwitch Hecate (which were likely not written by Shakespeare, but were written also in the Jacobean Era) make the witches sillier than the fairies in Midsummer Night's Dream, and although these scenes are never played nowadays, there is every reason to think that this was actually how the witches were played at first. This may have been the only way to get them onstage in a time when people would have been genuinely frightened of representations of real witches.

What did people think of witches in the 17th century?
In the 17th century, witches were often perceived as malevolent figures associated with evil, heresy, and the Devil.

Many viewed witchcraft as a serious crime, resulting in severe punishments, including execution. The fear of witches reflected broader anxieties about social order, gender roles, and the unknown.
Why are the witches to blame for all the deaths in Macbeth?
Normally, people would not blame the witches. They just said things and Macbeth reacted by doing things. The witches can only be held to blame if you think that Macbeth had no choice in his actions. But if he had no choice, how come the witches do have a choice?
