Detailed explanation-1: -Macbeth is a play by William Shakespeare that is set in Scotland.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: ‘Macbeth’ is often called ‘The Scottish Play’ largely related to superstition. The setting is in Scotland, but superstition holds that uttering the word Macbeth will cause tragedy to befall the person speaking, unless they are rehearsing.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Gaels gave Scotland its name from ‘Scoti’, a racially derogatory term used by the Romans to describe the Gaelic-speaking ‘pirates’ who raided Britannia in the 3rd and 4th centuries. They called themselves ‘Goidi l’, modernised today as Gaels, and later called Scotland ‘Alba’.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Scottish Play. The Bard’s Play. Macbeth is surrounded by superstition and fear of the ‘curse’ – uttering the play’s name aloud in a theatre causes bad luck. But where did this superstition come from?
