Hello everyone, for this post I would like to give some information to you about some interesting facts that I have found about the play called Macbeth.
-Macbeth's real name is Mac Bethad mac Findlaich. The real name of Lady Macbeth was Grouch.
-In Shakespeare's play Macbeth gets the chance of ruling for only a year, whereas he actually rules the Scotland for 17 years.
-Scotland was a very peaceful country during the times were Macbeth was in charge.
-There was an idea back in 1898 that this play was unlucky. Therefore whenever someone said the word "Macbeth" in a theatre that person needed to walk in a circle 3-times anti-clockwise way and then either spit or say a rude word.
