Diagnostic Misconceptions - Jacobean


Macbeth was first performed in 1606, when James I was King of England – so the play is Jacobean. It’s worth keeping in mind James I was deeply worried about witches and witchcraft and held a genuine belief that groups of witches were trying to kill him. He published ‘Daemonologie’ in 1597.
