It’s amazing to me that Shakespeare is able to embody, and capture the beliefs of the era in which he lived. In doing so I believe that he is exuding a certain type of power, if not control, over peoples way of interpreting certain events taking place in their lifetime. Shakespeare is able to play on his audience’s beliefs and mold and transform them in different ways, essentially making him a very authoritative figure. Instead of ending this with a suggestion, I am compelled to ask whether part of Shakespeare’s motives in writing plays such as Macbeth, and Henry V – were to take peoples opinions and conform them into certain beliefs that coincided with his own?
