Best Answer

In Shakespeare's time, certain people were really frightened of witches and believed that they were a clear and present danger to their society. The history of the Salem Witch Trials is an example of this kind of fear, which was only starting in Shakespeare's day. Throughout the seventeenth century, fundamentalist religion became very powerful in England and even overthrew the monarchy, and it is religious fundamentalists who generally are frightened of witches.

During the Jacobean period when Shakespeare wrote Macbeth, there was major tribulation between the Anglican Church and the Roman Catholic Church. Mary of France was Catholic while Elizabeth was Anglican.

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.
