Why do you think King James I was so interested in a play about Macbeth?

Answer:

King James, I was overly paranoid of espionage, conspiracies, and rebellions because he felt insecure about his sovereignty. Reading the play Macbeth would have given him relief and assurance that he was divinely appointed to become the monarch of both England and Scotland and therefore nobody was to replace him.
