Shakespeare's Macbeth is thought to have been first written/performed in 1606. It is important to understand the political context in which it was written, as that is the key to the main theme of the play, which is that excessive ambition will have terrible consequences. Macbeth is a tragedy. It dramatizes the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake.
