Some people have tried to link the play Macbeth to the Gunpowder Plot. It is true that the reference to an "equivocator" in the Porter's speech is almost certainly a reference to Henry Garnet, a Jesuit priest who was executed as part of the Gunpowder Plot, and who wrote a famous treatise on "equivocation", saying that it was ok to say something which was literally true but implied something false. This would have been a hot topical item at the time the play was written, after 1605.
