plots to kill Queen Elizabeth since she was from her father’s second marriage. Catholics wished to crown Mary Scot, her cousin instead.
Mary Scot was eventually imprisoned for 19 years and then beheaded.
Scotland(1st marriage)
England (2nd marriage)
Time Period: Renaissance
Since Queen Elizabeth had no heirs, so…JAMES VI OF SCOTLAND is crowned asJAMES I OF ENGLAND(Mary Scot’s son!!)
Talk about irony!
Time Period: RenaissanceJAMES I OF ENGLAND
1605 – Gun Powder Plot: Catholics plot to blow up the king and Parliament
RIDICULOUS HISTORICAL SPECIFICS:

Shakespeare’sMacbeth
PG. 5 IN PACKET
Macbeth: Writing Patronage
THE PLAY WAS WRITTEN FOR KING JAMES I: (1) He was obsessed with
demonology, the idea of magic and witches.
(2) He experienced the Gun Powder Plot, an assassination attempt.
(3) Banquo was written as a “good guy” since King James was his descendant.
(4) The play was short because he liked short plays
NOTE: The real Macbeth, King Duncan, Malcolm, Banquo and Lady Macbeth all lived in the 1000s Beowulf’s times!NOTE: The real Macbeth, King Duncan, Malcolm, Banquo and Lady Macbeth all lived in the 1000s Beowulf’s times!
Macbeth: The Curse
Supposedly, saying "Macbeth" inside a theater will bring bad luck to the play and anyone acting in it. People actually refer to the play as “The Scottish Play” or “MacB” when at the theater
WHY IT STARTED:Used an authentic 17th century black-magic
ritual for the opening scene of Macbeth's Act IV (a sort of “how-to” for budding witches.) That means he provided his audience with step-by-step instructions of how to create a real spell! As punishment, the witches supposedly cursed the play and its actors.
Macbeth: The Curse
1)Exit the theater, 2)Spin around three times
saying a profanity3)And then ask for permission
to return inside *OR4) Some believe that you can
repeat the words "Thrice around the circle bound, Evil sink into the ground,"
Macbeth: REVERSE The
Curse
THE CURSE First Macbeth Performance Ever: Beginning with its first
performance, in 1606, Dear Will himself was forced to play Lady Macbeth when Hal Berridge, the boy
designated to play the lady, became inexplicably feverish and died. Moreover, the bloody play so displeased King James I that he banned it for five years.
Amsterdam, 1672: The actor playing Macbeth substituted a real dagger for the blunted stage one and with it killed Duncan in full view of the entranced audience.
Lady Macbeth incidents: Sarah Siddons was nearly ravaged by a disapproving audience in 1775; Sybil Thorndike was almost strangled by a burly actor in 1926; Diana Wynyard sleepwalked off the rostrum in 1948, falling down 15 feet.
New York, 1849: During its performance at New York's Astor Place, a riot broke out in which 31 people were trampled to death. The actor playing Macduff was mugged soon after the play's opening.
THE CURSE
1942: The Macbeth production headed by John Gielgud, three actors -- Duncan and two witches -- died, and the costume and set designer committed suicide amidst his devilish Macbeth creations.
Bermuda, 1952: Charlton Heston, in an outdoor production, suffered severe burns in his groin and leg area from tights that were accidentally soaked in kerosene.
Recent Years: An actor's strike felled Rip Torn's 1970 production in New York City. Two fires and seven robberies plagued the 1971 version starring David Leary.
USA, 1937: When Laurence Olivier took on the role of Macbeth, a 25 pound stage weight crashed within an inch of him, and his sword which broke onstage flew into the audience and hit a man who later suffered a heart attack.
1934: British actor Malcolm Keen turned mute onstage, and his replacement, Alister Sim, like Hal Berridge before him, developed a high fever and had to be hospitalized.

DECODING LANGUAGEDECODING LANGUAGE
(1) This supernatural soliciting cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill, why hath it given me earnest success commencing in a truth? If good, why do I yield to that suggestion whose horrid image doth unfix my hair and make my seated heart knock at my ribs against the use of nature? (Act I, scene iii)

DECODING LANGUAGEDECODING LANGUAGE
(4) Time, thou anticipat’st my dread exploits. The flighty purpose never is o’ertook unless the deed go with it. From this moment the very firstlings of my heart shall be the firstlings of my hand. And even now, to crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done. (Act 4, scene i)
DECODING LANGUAGEDECODING LANGUAGE
(5) Cure her of that. Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, raze out the written troubles of the brain, and with some sweet oblivious antidote cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff which weighs upon the heart? (Act 5, scene iii)
ROLE REVERSALROLE REVERSAL

Come to my woman's breasts, and take my milke for gall, you murdering ministers, Wherever in your sightless substances you wait on nature’s mischeif! Come, thick night, And palll thee in the dunnest smoke of hell, That my keen knife see not the wound it makes, Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, to cry 'Hold, hold!'
