Similarities:

  • It is a true statement that King Macbeth assassinated King Duncan I.
  • It is also true that he became king of Scotland when king Duncan died.
  • Like at the end of the story, King Macbeth was defeated and killed by Malcolm's army.

Shakespeare wrote king Macbeth as if he was a cruel king because if he didn't make changes to the story then King James I would not like his play. King James I thinks that he came from Banquos decedents. And from what Shakespeare described Banquo to be in the play, is that he is a loyal and a trustworthy man. But it has been said that when Macbeth was assassinating Duncan, Banquo was said to be helping Macbeth in the process. And if Shakespeare has written that in his play, then King James I would not be pleased.

When I read the graphic novel 'Macbeth' I also loathed him like everyone else because of his awful and cunning decisions. If Macbeth followed his own decisions and not anyone else, he wouldn't have came across that horrible fate that was bestowed upon him. When I learned about the real Macbeth. I learned that the real Macbeth was an honorable,respectable, and a successful man during his historical years. This changes my point of view of the character because everything that Shakespeare portrayed Macbeth is somewhat insulting to King Macbeth himself. It will be insulting if someone would write something that horrible about me and everyone will see it and remember for centuries to come.

Differ and Similarities

King Macbeth

Mac Bethad mac Findlaich (a.k.a Macbeth) is the King of Scotland from 1040 till 1057. It has been said that he is well-known because of a script that was written by William Shakespeare's. The play was called 'Macbeth'.

  • Shakespeare's wrote Macbeth for King James I in 1606.
  • King James had a deep interest on witchcraft, that he wrote a book about it; It is called Daemonologie.
  • The king believes that he is one of the descendants of Banquo (Not been proven).
  • The people back in the days believes that the word Macbeth is bad luck. Actors or actresses die on scene (on stage or backstage) just by saying that word.
  • That is why people would call it as "The Bard's Play" or the "Scottish Play" whenever they are rehearsing just to prevent danger from happening.
  • It has been said that witches put a spell on the play Macbeth because Shakespeare stole and revealed their secret spell to everyone.

Difference:

  • King MacFindlaech was not murderous and a terrible character as Shakespeare describes him to be.
  • King Macbeth was said to be a wise king who has successfully ruled his kingdom for about 17 years.
  • He was a respectable man.
  • Shakespeare gave Macbeth the title ''Thane of Glamis'' but Glamis was not known in the 11th century (It did not exist).
  • Macbeth's step-son Lulach then became king.
  • He died at Lumphanan , Scotland.
