Answer:

Likely written in 1606, Macbeth is considered one of Shakespeare's most topical plays for a number of reasons. As a dramatization of an episode of Scottish history, the play is clearly associated with the reigning monarch, James I, who was also the patron of Shakespeare's company, the King's Men.
