Summary:
Shakespeare was writing in a time when people believed in witches. So when the witches appear in Macbeth, it would have been a terrifying moment. Cassidy Cash of That Shakespeare Life podcast helps us understand the play, the witches, and all the things Shakespeare was trying to accomplish.
Shakespeare's Macbeth was first performed early in the reign of King James. It was a tumultuous time and most people were on edge. The witches represented a real and present danger to the people. Cassidy explains how Shakespeare used these creatures and the particulars of their play to grab the attention of the audience that mattered most to him: the King himself.
From Shakespeare's day to our, Macbeth and the witches continue to capture our imagination.
History shows us what's possible.
