'''''Macbeth''''' is a [[tragedy]] written by [[William Shakespeare]], set in Scotland. Although a tragedy the main character becomes a usurper, who at the end of the play is deposed. This play is thought to have been written around 1606, a half-decade after Shakespeare wrote [[Hamlet]]. This play accepts the existence of and delves into [[witchcraft]], which was common in [[Britain]] at the time as there were even witchcraft trials.<ref>https://www.bl.uk/shakespeare/articles/witchcraft-in-shakespeares-england</ref>
