Macbeth Word Search
This Macbeth word search holds forty words from Shakespeare's Scottish tragedy: Banquo, Duncan, Macduff, the three witches and their cauldron, the dagger, the Thane of Cawdor, Birnam Wood and the spot that will not wash out.
Shakespeare wrote the play around 1606, a few years after King James VI of Scotland became James I of England. The new king had written a book on witchcraft, and he believed Banquo was his ancestor, which may be why the stage Banquo is honest while the Banquo of the old chronicles helps kill Duncan. The real Macbeth ruled Scotland from 1040 to 1057, a good deal longer than the play allows.
The witches greet him as Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor and king hereafter. Later apparitions promise that no man born of woman can harm him and that he is safe until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane. Both promises hold only on a technicality: Malcolm's soldiers carry branches cut from the wood, and Macduff was cut from his mother's womb. Many actors will not say the title inside a theater and call it the Scottish Play.
