How are Macbeth and Guy Fawkes connected?

Answer 1

There's no connection between Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] and Guy Fawkes [April 13, 1570-January 31, 1606]. The two figures lived in different places and times. Macbeth was a historical figure of eleventh-century Scotland. Fawkes was a historical figure of 16th-17th century England. But if the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth' is considered instead of the historical record, then a similarity in attitude may be found between the two historical figures. According to the historical record, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] was killed by his own men for having launched an unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, unjust invasion of Macbeth's lands. According to the Shakespearean play, the King was killed by Macbeth. The killing was carried out against a defenseless sovereign who had no chance of defending himself. He was tired from a long day of monitoring threats to his rule and of traveling. He needed his nap after having eaten what may have been a heavy evening meal. He had to get up early the next morning and travel some more. He had no weapons. Likewise, Fawkes plotted to kill his sovereign, King James [June 19, 1566-March 27, 1625] I of England and Ireland and VI of Scotland. The planned killing would have been against a defenseless monarch who had no chance of defending himself. Specifically, Fawkes had planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament while the King and the politico-economic movers and shakers of the realm were inside, unsuspecting and unprotected.
